Using Euler's Formulas to Obtain Trigonometric Identities. In this lesson, we will explore the derivation of several trigonometric identities, namely
cos(x + y) = cosxcosy- sinxsiny
and sin(x + y) = sinxcosy+ sinycosx
also
cos2x = cos2x- sin2x
along with sin2x = 2sinxcosx
and lastly, DeMoivre's Formula,
(cosx+ isinx)n = cosnx+ isinnx
Using Euler's Formula. To get a good understanding of what is going on, you will need a previous knowlege of series expansions and complex numbers! This article will provide avery little explanation of these subjects, so you may want to refresh your knowledge first
