Substituting in these expressions for the sine and cosine of B + A, the successive values of a, 2a, 3a, &c.

instead of B, we shall have,

21. If the cosine of a be represented by a particular binomial, the formula (K) will be transformed into a class of very elegant and curious theorems: thus

then 2 cos 2a = 2 (2 cos 2A − 1) = 2 [} (≈ + 4)* − 1]

22. By an inverted process, the sine and cosine of a single arc may be inferred from those of a double arc; or, which comes to the same, those of a half arc from those of a whole arc.

Let x = √(1

* This remarkable class of formulæ may be of use in the summation of series. Thus, cos a + cos 2A + cos 3A + cos 4A + &c. ..cos na, is equal to the sum of the two series (≈ + z3 + z3 +

23. Otherwise, in order to obtain expressions for the sine and cosine of a half arc, take

1 = cos 2A + sin 2A

cos 2A= cos 2A

[ocr errors]

sin 2A (see formulæ D), the sum and difference of these respectively, give 2 cos 2A = 1 + cos 2A, and 2 sin 2A = 1 Changing A and 2A into A and A, we shall have

Suppose, for example, A 60°, then cos a = sin 30° = 1, and cos 30°√(2 + 1) = { √3 = ·8660254, sin 30°(2-1), as it ought to be: cos 15° = √(2 + √3) = {{√6 + √2) = •9659258 sin 15 = √(2 √3 ) = 1 ( √/6 = /2)=2588190: and so on, by continual bisections, as low as we please. 24. If the formula (c) be divided one by the other, there will result,

While, on the other hand, dividing the first values of sin A, cos A (formula N) one by the other, there will result,

25. Pursuing an analogous process to that by which we obtained tan (A + B), the following may be deduced from formulæ (c): viz.

cot (AB):

27. Similar computations with the equations (c), combined 2 and 2, would produce a great variety of other formulæ. From these, however, since the ingenious student may investigate them nearly as rapidly as he can write them down, we shall only select the following for insertion here.

28. Some useful theorems in the computation of sines, cosines, &c. result from the introduction of the imaginary quantities that arise from the solution of the equations A2 + 1 = 0, and в2 + 10: so that, though these roots, A = ± √− 1, and в = ± √-1, are in
