    I used to hatemath and it was the thing I hated the most.
    Now I watch videos of math everyday, when I have time I take a paper and try to do the same things and follow up. And I'm always waiting for a new video to come up.
    Thank you so much for making me love math

      I am a high school math teacher with a masters degree in math and the visual brilliance and explanation of this proof is top notch. Definitely can be used to help my higher level math students. In fact, I can use it just to help regular students REFLECT on the brilliance and challenge of coming up with a good proof. Nice JOB!

    The text book we use offers a 'proof' that's tough to follow, and even tougher to reproduce. Your method is great, and with practice, I've gotten it down to just over 3 minutes. The fact that it offers both the Sine and Cosine addition equations in one proof just adds to its beauty.

    one of the most beautiful proofs, it seems perfectly designed to tease out that double angle formula in the most efficient way! But, is there no channel out there which explains how to design proofs like this? This kind of feels like what experimentalists go through to set up the perfect experiment.

    You could also use Euler formula : exp(iA) = cosA + isinA and exp(i(A+B)) = exp(iA)*exp(iB) ---->
    cos(A+B) + isin(A+B) = (cosA + isinA)(cosB + isinB) ---> expand and equalize real part and imaginary part --->
    cos(A+B) =... and sin(A+B)=...

    I almost failed math in highschool and calculus held me back a year in university. But for the last six months I've been re-teaching myself through khan academy & UA-cam. I now understand things deeper than how they were taught to me. It's a shame that so many who like me fell through the gaping cracks of a system that doesn't care may not be able to muster up the courage or find the time and energy to try again. But if you're someone who's wanted to see if they could try again on their own, I believe that without much time you'll do much better than you ever have and with a lot less stress and anxiety and if you don't know where to start Khan Academy's Algebra 1 & 2 courses are very thorough, building from the absolute foundation and very understandable. Good luck.

  • @MichaelRothwell1
    @MichaelRothwell1 6 років тому +22

    This is an excellent presentation of a very neat proof, which you had essentially already shown in a recent video on calculating the trig ratios of 75°. Just one little point: the value of the angle alpha+beta follows immediately from alternating angles.

    • @MichaelRothwell1
      @MichaelRothwell1 6 років тому +5

      You're welcome!
      By the way, I've done quite a few diagrams today and concluded that your geometric proof (given for the case acute+acute=acute) can be adapted to work in nearly all other cases, even for negative angles, as described below.

    • @MichaelRothwell1
      @MichaelRothwell1 6 років тому +3

      Here is the general construction:
      1. Measure an angle α anticlockwise from the positive x-axis, and draw the line l through O in this (and the opposite) direction.
      2. Measure an angle α+β anticlockwise from the positive x-axis, and mark the point B at 1 unit from O in this direction.
      3. Drop a perpendicular from B onto the line l, meeting it at A (this may be in the direction α from O or the opposite direction)
      4. We now have a ΔAOB. Draw the smallest possible rectangle with sides parallel to the axes enclosing this triangle: the left side will be x=(smallest x coordinate of A, O, B), the right side will be x=(largest x coordinate of A, O, B) and similarly for the top and bottom sides (replacing x by y in the these descriptions).

    • @MichaelRothwell1
      @MichaelRothwell1 6 років тому +2

      With this construction complete, ΔAOB will be complemented three right-angled triangles inside the rectangle, having as their hypotenuses the three sides OA, AB, and BO, and horizontal and vertical segments as their legs:
      - The side OA will make an acute angle α' with the horizontal side of its right-angled triangle, where α' is the "auxiliary angle" for α, that is the acute angle between the line l and the x-axis (algebraically, α' is the unique acute angle such that α can be written as α=n180°+α' or α=n180°-α').
      - The side AB (perpendicular to OA by construction) will make the same acute angle α' with the vertical side of its right-angled triangle.
      - The side BO will make the acute angle (α+β)' with the horizontal side of its right-angled triangle, where (α+β)' is the auxiliary angle for α+β.
      In the right-angled triangle ΔAOB itself, the angle

    • @MichaelRothwell1
      @MichaelRothwell1 6 років тому +3

      Starting with the unit diagonal OB = 1, we get AB=sinβ' which equals either sinβ or -sinβ (according to the quadrant in which β lies; the sign can be readily checked from the unit circle definition of the trig functions) and OA=cosβ, which equals either cosβ or -cosβ (note that one should label the sides in terms of a signed trig function of β, not in terms of β').
      Next, and using the above information about the angles of the three complementary right-angled triangles, we can calculate the six legs of these triangles in terms of trig functions of α & β, which will be just as before, except for possible minus signs.
      Finally, we equate expressions for the two vertical sides for the angle sum formula for sin(α+β) and those for the two horizontal sides for the angle sum formula for cos(α+β), at which point, and despite any minus signs that appeared along the way, should be the same formulae as in the acute+acute=acute case.

    Rotation matrix R[a] = anticlockwise rotation by angle a and is the matrix [[cos a -sin a] [sin a cos a]]
    to rotate anticlockwise by angle a+b, R[a+b] = R[a].R[b]. This will give formulæ for sin(a+b) and cos(a+b) in terms of sin a, cos a, sin b and cos b.
    Likewise eᴵª . eᴵᵇ = (cos a + i sin a)(cos b + i sin b) = eᴵ⁽ª⁺ᵇ⁾ = cos(a+b) + i sin(a+b) will give these formulæ too.
    However, none of the above is taught until the elementary trig course is complete. The method you give is the best I've seen.
