IB Math Trigonometry Double Angles
Master IB Math AA SL Trigonometry - Double Angles – Equations
Trigonometry is a considerable component of the IB Math Applications and Analysis SL (AA SL) curriculum. Among trigonometry’s many topics, double-angle formulas and trigonometric equations hold particular importance in IB Math curriculum. Whether you’re revising for your exams or tackling challenging problem sets, solving past paper questions is a key point for higher grade.
In link below you can find some past paper like questions.
In Youtube video you can find solutions of questions.
What Are Double-Angle Formulas?
Double-angle formulas are trigonometric identities that allow you to express trigonometric functions of double angles (2θ) in terms of single angles (θ). These formulas are particularly useful for simplifying expressions and solving equations. You have to memories these formulas. You can easily remember them by using addition and difference formulas.
sin2A = 2sinAcosA
cos2A=cos2A-sin2A
