addition and subtraction formulas for sine and cosine
The rotation matrix will be used to obtain the addition formulas for sine and cosine.
Recall that a vector in can be rotated radians in the counterclockwise direction by multiplying on the left by the rotation matrix . Because rotating by radians is the same as rotating by radians followed by rotating by radians, we obtain:
Hence, and .
Note that sine is an even function and that cosine is an odd function, i.e. (http://planetmath.org/Ie) and . These facts enable us to obtain the subtraction formulas for sine and cosine.
