Double Angle Formulas:
I.
sin (2)
Write the sum formula for sin    


Replace  by . Simplify.
sin (2) =
II.
cos (2)
Write the sum formula for cos    


Replace  by . Simplify.
cos (2) =
To find an alternate form, replace sin2 by 1 – cos2 and simplify.
cos (2) =
To find a second alternate form, in the original expression two lines above, replace
cos2 by 1 – sin2 and simplify.
cos (2) =
III.
tan (2)
