What rule is this? What is it called? Sin(2nX)/sin(nX) = 2Cos(nX)

Hello guest!

 

sin 2x = 2 sin x cos x is one of the double angle functions

 

sin(2X)=2sin(X)*cos(X)


One can show this nicely over an addition theorem:


sin(x+y) = sin(x) * cos(y) + sin(y) * cos(x)
 

and this case has to do with double angles ...


sin(2x) = sin(x+x) = sin(x) * cos(x) + sin(x) * cos(x) = 2*sin(x)*cos(x)

If I don't mind asking. Other than addition theorm what other rules do I need to learn, that is in the same level of learning, concerning sin and cos.

 

I'm abit behind in mathematics. I think half-angle trigonetric formulae is one of them.
