Common Core Math - HS Functions

Lesson Plan

Prove angle sum formulas

Goals / Objectives

State the angle addition formulas: sin(A + B) = sin(A)cos(B) + cos(A)sin(B) and cos(A + B) = cos(A)cos(B) - sin(A)sin(B)

Follow a geometric proof of cos(A - B) using the distance formula on the unit circle

Derive sin(A + B) from cos(A + B) using the co-function relationship sin(theta) = cos(pi/2 - theta)

Use the addition formulas to find exact values of non-standard angles (e.g., sin(75 degrees) = sin(45 + 30))

Derive the double angle formulas as special cases: sin(2A) = 2 sin(A)cos(A) and cos(2A) = cos^2(A) - sin^2(A)

Derive the tangent addition formula tan(A + B) = (tan(A) + tan(B))/(1 - tan(A)tan(B))
