You are allowed to use the official Department of Education table

book in the exam hall. There is a lot of information in this book that
you do not need. The information on the following pages has been
extracted from the official table book and is exactly what you need
for the Leaving Cert. Honours Maths papers.

This is how you deal with negative angles.

cos(− A) = cos A sin(− A) = − sin A tan(− A) = − tan A

Use the Sine and Cosine rules to solve triangles.

Compound Angle formulae

cos( A + B) = cos A cos B − sin A sin B

The formulae for cos( A − B), sin( A − B),
sin( A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B tan( A − B) can be obtained by changing the
tan A + tan B signs in these formulae. You need to be able to
tan( A + B) =
1 − tan A tan B prove cos( A ± B) and sin( A ± B).

cos 2 A = cos 2 A − sin 2 A

These formulae are obtained
by replacing B by A in the sin 2 A = 2 sin A cos A
compound angle formulae. 2 tan A
tan 2 A =
1 − tan 2 A

1 − tan 2 A 2 tan A
cos 2 A = sin 2 A =
1 + tan 2 A 1 + tan 2 A

Use these when integrating trig squares.

cos 2 A = 12 (1 + cos 2 A) sin 2 A = 12 (1 − cos 2 A)

Used to change products to sums, useful when integrating products of trig functions.

2 cos A cos B = cos( A + B ) + cos( A − B)

2sin A cos B = sin( A + B) + sin( A − B)

2sin A sin B = cos( A − B) − cos( A + B)

2 cos A sin B = sin( A + B) − sin( A − B)

Used to change sums into products, useful when solving trig equations.

sin A + sin B = 2 sin( A +2 B ) cos( A −2 B )

sin A − sin B = 2 cos( A +2 B ) sin( A −2 B )

cos A + cos B = 2 cos( A +2 B ) cos( A −2 B )

cos A − cos B = −2 sin( A +2 B ) sin( A −2 B )
