-
Powers of Sine
and Cosine
-
sine is odd and positive
- separate to one sine factor
and an even set of factors
- convert even set to
cosine using pyth. id.
- use substitution
-
cosine is odd and positive
- separate to one cosine factor
and an even set of factors
- convert set to sine
using pyth. id.
- us substitution
-
both are even and pos.
- use half angle
identities to convert to
odd power of cos
- use odd cosine rule
-
Powers of
sec & tan
-
secant is even and pos.
- separate to one sec^2 factor
and an even set of factors
- convert set to tan
using pyth id.
- use substition
-
tan is odd and pos
- separate to one sectan
- convert rest to sec
- use substitution
-
no sec and tan
is even and pos
- convert one tan^2
to sec^2
- repeat
-
otherwise
- convert to
sin and cos
-
sin cos product
w/ different angles
-
use product to sum id
- sin(mx)sin(nx)=(1/2)(cos[(m-n)x]-cos[(m+n)x])
- sin(mx)cos(nx)=(1/2)(sin[(m-n)x]+sin[(m+n)x]
- cos(mx)cos(nx)=(1/2)(cos[(m-n)x]+cos[(m+n)x])

Useful Identities
-
Pythagorean
- sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)=1
- 1+tan^2(x)=sec^2(x)
-
Half Angle
- sin^2(x)=(1-cos(2x))/2
- cos^2(x)= (1+cos(2x))/2
