Double and Triple Angle Formulas
sin(2A) = 2sin A cos A
cos(2A) = cos²A − sin²A = 2cos²A − 1 = 1 − 2sin²A
tan(2A) = 2tan A / (1 − tan²A)
sin(3A) = 3sin A − 4sin³A
cos(3A) = 4cos³A − 3cos A
tan(3A) = (3tan A − tan³A) / (1 − 3tan²A)
Product to Sum
sin A sin B = 1/2 [cos(A − B) − cos(A + B)]
cos A cos B = 1/2 [cos(A − B) + cos(A + B)]
sin A cos B = 1/2 [sin(A + B) + sin(A − B)]
Sum to Product
sin A + sin B = 2 sin((A + B)/2) cos((A − B)/2)
sin A − sin B = 2 cos((A + B)/2) sin((A − B)/2)
cos A + cos B = 2 cos((A + B)/2) cos((A − B)/2)
cos A − cos B = −2 sin((A + B)/2) sin((A − B)/2)
Other Results
sin⁴A + cos⁴A = 1 − 1/2 sin²(2A)
tan A ± tan B = sin(A ± B) / (cos A cos B)
Chapter 13: Limits and Derivatives
Basic Limit Rules
lim x→a c = c
lim x→a x = a
lim x→a [f(x) + g(x)] = lim f(x) + lim g(x)

lim x→a [f(x) * g(x)] = lim f(x) * lim g(x)
Standard Limits
lim x→0 (sin x)/x = 1
lim x→0 (tan x)/x = 1
lim x→0 (1 − cos x)/x² = 1/2
Derivative (First Principle)
f'(x) = lim h→0 [f(x+h) − f(x)] / h
