Linear Algebra in the Euclidian Space: Section 6 Test

Fabienne Chaplais Mathedu

Keywords: Angle, Trigonometry

1 Introduction

In that test, you will discover the formulae for \( \cos(2a)\) and \( \sin(3a)\) , using the trigonometric formulae you already learned.

2 Question 1: Develop \( \cos(3a)\) as \( \cos(2a+a)\)

Use the formula of the cosine of a sum to develop \( \cos(3a)\) .

3 Question 2: Develop \( \cos(3a)\) as a function of \( \cos(a)\) and \( \sin(a)\)

Use any of the formulae of the cosine and the sine of a double to develop the expression obtained in the previous section.

4 Question 3: Give \( \cos(3a)\) as a function of \( \cos(a)\)

Use the fundamental identity of the trigonometry \( \cos^2(a)+\sin^2(a)=1\) to deduce an expression of \( \cos(3a)\) that depends only on \( \cos(a)\) .

5 Question 4: Develop \( \sin(3a)\) as \( \sin(2a+a)\)

Use the formula of the sine of a sum to develop \( \sin(3a)\) .

6 Question 5: Develop \( \sin(3a)\) as a function of \( \cos(a)\) and \( \sin(a)\)

Use any of the formulae of the cosine and the sine of a double to develop the expression obtained in the previous section.

7 Question 6: Give \( \sin(3a)\) as a function of \( \sin(a)\)

Use the fundamental identity of the trigonometry \( \cos^2(a)+\sin^2(a)=1\) to deduce an expression of \( \sin(3a)\) tha depends only on \( \sin(a)\) .
