  3. Half angle formulas - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Actually, if you half an angle, it will divide the opposite side proportionally to the two other sides. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_bisector_theorem )

  4. Proof of tangent half identity - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Jan 13, 2013 · 2 One well known tangent half-angle formula says $$ \tan\frac x2 = \frac {\sin x} {1+\cos x}. $$ Another well known tangent half-angle formula says: $$ \tan\frac x2 = \frac {1-\cos x} {\sin x}. …

  5. The theoretical importance of the half-angle formulas

    May 22, 2022 · Unlike the laws of sines, cosines and tangents, which are very well known, the half-angle formulas seem (although they appear timidly in the mathematical literature) not to enjoy the same …

  7. deriving sine half angle formula from sine double angle formula

    Sep 30, 2018 · I can derive the sin, cos and tan half angle formulas from the cosine double angle formula. But I'm having trouble deriving the sine half angle formula from the sine double angle …

  8. For sin 2x + cos x = 0, use a double-angle or half-angle formula to ...

    For sin 2x + cos x= 0, use a double- angle or half-angle formula to simplify the equation and then find all solutions of the equation in the interval [0,2π).

  9. The correct half angle formula? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Feb 11, 2016 · However, it is fairly obvious that it will only be one value, positive or negative, not both. So what's the truly correct half angle formula? It gives the right magnitude, but it doesn't provide the …

  10. Use the half-angle formula for cosine to compute $\cos (\theta/2 ...

    T. Bongers is right: When an angle is on the interval $0 < \theta < 2\pi$, the cosine of the angle is positive. More generally, the six basic circular trig functions { $\sin (x)$, $\cos (x)$, $\tan (x)$, $\csc …
