Trigonometric formulas

The golden parameter is perhaps best known from botanical phyllotaxis and from its relationship to five-fold symmetry, as evidenced by trigonometric formulae such as ... 

The trigonometric identity (Equation 3.62) can be easily derived as follows. We start from the well-known trigonometric formulae ... 

I. Conversion Formula.—Corresponding with the trigonometrical formulae there are a great number of relations among the hyperbolic functions, such as (5) above, also... 

Summary of trigonometrical formula (for reference). The above definitions lead to the following relations, which form routine exercises in elementary trigonometry. Most of them may be established geometrically as in the preceding illustrations ... 

The student of this work is supposed to possess a working knowledge of elementary algebra so far as to be able to solve a set of simple simultaneous equations, and to know the meaning of a few trigonometrical formulae. If any... 

Since the stress always leads the strain, the phase angle S is positive. Using the trigonometric formula for the sine of the sum of two angles, Eq. (5.5) can be rewritten in terms of the shear storage modulus G a>) and the loss modulus... 

The terms sin" Qt can be converted into linear functions of sin(n 2t) and cos nQt) using known trigonometric formulas. 

This notation simplifies considerably the mathematical expressions, and there is no need to use complicated trigonometric formulae when dealing with the changes in the phase and ampUtude of AC signals. 

Noting that the relations between j, j, yj and xj, fij, yj are given by the trigonometric formulae ... 

SO the y coordinate for the end of arrow 2 is -0.500. (The trigonometric formula gives us the length of the side. We know from the diagram that the sign of thisy component is negative.)... 

The importance of contact angle is that it determines the extent of (solid) surface coverage by a liquid. It is intuitively clear that the interfacial area covered by a sessile drop of given, fixed volume Vof liquid increases as contact angle decreases, but this maybe readily written formally in the case of a spherical, cap-shaped drop, of contact radius r, and height h. Writing t = tan(0o/2) = h/r, and with a standard trigonometric formula for the volume, V, of...
