Plane trigonometry, by S.L. Loney.

A RATIOS OF - IN TERMS OF SIN A. 123 e n tan7r +A (2p+ 1)7r + A Then tan. = tan 2 2 = tan 7pr + 7 A) = tan (Art. 84) =-cot 2. (Art. 70.) A Hence the formula which gives us the value of tan - A should be expected to give us also the value of - cot. An illustration of this is seen in the example of the last article. EXAMPLES. XVIII. 1 1 1. If sin 0= 2 and sin =, find the values of sin (0 + 5) and sin (20 + 20). 2. The tangent of an angle is 2-4. Find its cosecant, the cosecant of half the angle and the cosecant of the supplement of double the angle. 11 42 3. If cosa=- and sin3=-, find the values of sin and ~61 /3~ and cos2 a+ the angles a and 3 being positive acute angles. 24 4. If cosa=3 and cos p=4, find the value of cos -, the angles o5 2 a and p being positive acute angles. 5. Given sec 0 = 1~, find tan and tan 0. 6. If cos A ='28, find the value of tan 2, and explain the resulting ambiguity. 7. Find the values of (1) sin 71, (2) cos 7~, (3) tan 221~, and (4) tan 110.
