Reason: Closes a gap in the corpus: parity, the addition formulas and the double-angle identities for sine and cosine, together with the factorisation of a difference of squared sines, all derived from the existing product-to-sum formulas.

The cosine is even and the sine is odd, the double-angle identities in their three standard forms, and the factorisation of a difference of two squared sines as a product of two sines.

Statement

In the setting of The Real Numbers: Standing Notation and Background, let cos⁡\cos and sin⁡\sin be the cosine and sine functions from R\mathbb{R} to R\mathbb{R}, let 2=1+12=1+1, and for a real number tt let t2=ttt^{2}=tt as in The Real Numbers: Standing Notation and Background §numbers. Then the following hold for all x,y∈Rx,y\in\mathbb{R}.

1. (Values at zero)

cos⁡0=1,sin⁡0=0.\cos 0=1,\qquad \sin 0=0 .

2. (Parity)

cos⁡(−x)=cos⁡x,sin⁡(−x)=−sin⁡x.\cos(-x)=\cos x,\qquad \sin(-x)=-\sin x .

3. (Addition)

sin⁡(x+y)=sin⁡x cos⁡y+cos⁡x sin⁡y,cos⁡(x+y)=cos⁡x cos⁡y−sin⁡x sin⁡y.\sin(x+y)=\sin x\,\cos y+\cos x\,\sin y, \qquad \cos(x+y)=\cos x\,\cos y-\sin x\,\sin y .

4. (Double angle)

cos⁡(2x)=2(cos⁡x)2−1=1−2(sin⁡x)2,sin⁡(2x)=2sin⁡x cos⁡x.\cos(2x)=2(\cos x)^{2}-1=1-2(\sin x)^{2}, \qquad \sin(2x)=2\sin x\,\cos x .

5. (A difference of squared sines)

(sin⁡x)2−(sin⁡y)2=sin⁡(x+y) sin⁡(x−y).(\sin x)^{2}-(\sin y)^{2}=\sin(x+y)\,\sin(x-y).
