  2. Proofs of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    The area of triangle OAD is AB/2, or sin(θ)/2. The area of triangle OCD is CD /2 , or tan( θ )/2 . Since triangle OAD lies completely inside the sector, which in turn lies completely inside triangle OCD , we have

  3. Euler's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_formula

    The original proof is based on the Taylor series expansions of the exponential function e z (where z is a complex number) and of sin x and cos x for real numbers x . In fact, the same proof shows that Euler's formula is even valid for all complex numbers x.

    Ptolemy's theorem states that the sum of the products of the lengths of opposite sides is equal to the product of the lengths of the diagonals. When those side-lengths are expressed in terms of the sin and cos values shown in the figure above, this yields the angle sum trigonometric identity for sine: sin(α + β) = sin α cos β + cos α sin β.

  5. Euler's identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_identity

    Euler's identity is a special case of Euler's formula, which states that for any real number x, e i x = cos ⁡ x + i sinx {\displaystyle e^{ix}=\cos x+i\sin x} where the inputs of the trigonometric functions sine and cosine are given in radians .

  6. Pythagorean trigonometric identity - Wikipedia

    Point P has a positive y-coordinate, and sin θ = sin(π−θ) > 0. As θ increases from zero to the full circle θ = 2π, the sine and cosine change signs in the various quadrants to keep x and y with the correct signs. The figure shows how the sign of the sine function varies as the angle changes quadrant.

  7. Law of sines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_sines

    In trigonometry, the law of sines, sine law, sine formula, or sine rule is an equation relating the lengths of the sides of any triangle to the sines of its angles. According to the law, ⁡ = ⁡ = ⁡ =, where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of a triangle, and α, β, and γ are the opposite angles (see figure 2), while R is the radius of the triangle's circumcircle.

  8. Sinc function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinc_function

    The product of 1-D sinc functions readily provides a multivariate sinc function for the square Cartesian grid : sinc C (x, y) = sinc(x) sinc(y), whose Fourier transform is the indicator function of a square in the frequency space (i.e., the brick wall defined in 2-D space).

  9. De Moivre's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Moivre's_formula

    The expression cos x + i sin x is sometimes abbreviated to cis x. The formula is important because it connects complex numbers and trigonometry. By expanding the left hand side and then comparing the real and imaginary parts under the assumption that x is real, it is possible to derive useful expressions for cos nx and sin nx in terms of cos x ...
