Multiple Angle Formulae

The important trigonometrical ratios of multiple angle formulae are given below:

(i) sin 2A = 2 sin A cos  A                                               

(ii) cos 2A = cos2 A - sin2 A

(iii) cos 2A = 2 cos2 A - 1                                             

(iv) cos 2A = 1 - 2 sin2 A

(v) 1 + cos 2A = 2 cos2 A                                            

(vi) 1 - cos 2A = 2 sin2 A

(vii) tan2 A = 1cos2A1+cos2A

(viii) sin 2A = 2tanA1+tan2A

(ix) cos 2A = 1tan2A1+tan2A

(x) tan 2A = 2tanA1tan2A

(xi) sin 3A = 3 sin A - 4 sin3 A                    

(xii) cos 3A = 4 cos3 A - 3 cos A

(xiii) tan 3A = 3tanAtan3A13tan2A


Now we will learn how to use the above formulae for solving different types of trigonometric problems on multiple angles.

1. Prove that cos 5x = 16 cos5 x – 20 cos3 x + 5 cos x

Solution:

L.H.S. = cos 5x

= cos (2x + 3x)

= cos 2x cos 3x - sin 2x sin 3x

= (2 cos2 x - 1) (4 cos3 x - 3 cos x) - 2 sin x cos x (3 sin x - 4 sin3 x)

= 8 cos5 x - 10 cos3 x + 3 cos x - 6 cos x sin2 x + 8 cos x sin4 x

= 8 cos5 x - 10 cos3 x + 3 cos x - 6 cos x (1 - cos2 x) + 8 cos x (1 - cos2 x)2

= 8 cos5 x - 10 cos3 x + 3 cos x - 6 cos x + 6 cos3 x + 8 cos x - 16 cos3 x + 8 cos5 x

= 16 cos5 x - 20 cos3 x + 5 cos x

 

2. If 13x = π, proved that cos x cos 2x cos 3x cos 4x cos 5x cos 6x = ½^6

Solution: 

L. H. S = cos x cos 2x cos 3x cos 4x cos 5x cos 6x

= 12sinx (2 sin x cos x) cos 2x cos 3x cos 4x cos 5x  cos 6x 

= 12sinx sin 2x cos 2x cos 3x cos 4x cos 5x cos 6x 

= 122sinx (2 sin 2x cos 2x) cos 3x cos 4x cos 5x cos 6x 

= 123sinx (2 sin 4x cos 4x) cos 3x cos 5x cos 6x 

= 123sinx sin 8x cos 3x cos 5x cos 6x 

= 124sinx (2 sin 5x cos 5x) cos 3x cos 6x,

[Since, sin 8x = sin (13x - 5x) = sin (π - 5x), (given 13x = π)

= sin 5x]

= 124sinx sin 10x cos 3x cos 6x

= 125sinx (2 sin 3x cos 3x) cos 6x,

[Since, sin 10x = sin (13x – 3x) = sin (π – 3x), (given 13x = π)

= sin 3x]

= 126sinx 2 sin 3x cos 6x

= 126sinx sin 12x

= 126sinx sin (13x - x)

= 126sinx sin (π - x), [Since, 13x = π]

= 126sinx sin x

= 126 = R.H.S.                         Proved
