Sum Formulas


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

  2. cos(x + y) = cos x * cos y - sin x * sin y

  3. tan(x + y) = [tan x + tan y] / [1 - tanx * tany]




Difference Formulas


  1. sin(x - y) = sin x * cos y - cos x * sin y

  2. cos(x - y) = cos x * cos y + sin x * sin y

  3. tan(x - y) = [tan x - tan y] / [1 + tanx * tany]
