trigonometric formulas from series


One may define the sine and the cosine functions for real (and complex) arguments using the power seriesMathworldPlanetmath

sinx=x-x33!+x55!-+,(1)
cosx= 1-x22!+x44!-+,(2)

and using only the properties of power series, easily derive most of the goniometric formulasPlanetmathPlanetmath, without any geometry.  For example, one gets instantly from (1) and (2) the values

sin0= 0,cos0= 1

and the parity relations (http://planetmath.org/EvenoddFunction)

sin(-x)=-sinx,cos(-x)=cosx.

Using the Cauchy multiplication rule for series one can obtain the addition formulasPlanetmathPlanetmath

{sin(x+y)=sinxcosy+cosxsiny,cos(x+y)=cosxcosy-sinxsiny.(3)

These produce straightforward many other important formulae, e.g.

sin2x= 2sinxcosx,cos2x=cos2x-sin2x  (y=:x)(4)

and

cos2x+sin2x= 1      (y=:-x).(5)

The value  cosπ2=0,  as well as the formulae expressing the periodicity of sine and cosine, cannot be directly obtained from the series (1) and (2) — in fact, one must define the number π by using the functionMathworldPlanetmath properties of the and its derivativeMathworldPlanetmath series (http://planetmath.org/PowerSeries).

The equation

cosx= 0

has on the interval  (0, 2)  exactly one root (http://planetmath.org/Equation).  Actually, as sum of a power series,cosx is continuousMathworldPlanetmath,  cos0=1>0  and  cos2<1-222!+244!<0  (see Leibniz’ estimate for alternating seriesMathworldPlanetmath (http://planetmath.org/LeibnizEstimateForAlternatingSeries)), whence there is at least one root.  If there were more than one root, then the derivative

-sinx=-x+x33!-+=-x(1-x23!+-)

would have at least one zero on the interval; this is impossible, since by Leibniz the series in the parentheses does not change its sign on the interval:

1-x23!+-> 1-223!> 0

Accordingly, we can define the number pi to be the least positive solution of the equation  cosx=0, multiplied by 2.

Thus we have  0<π<4  and  cosπ2=0.  Furthermore, by (5),

sinπ2= 1,

and by (4),

sinπ= 0,cosπ=-1,sin2π= 0,cos2π= 1.

Consequently, the addition formulas (3) yield the periodicities (http://planetmath.org/PeriodicFunctions)

sin(x+2π)=sinx,cos(x+2π)=cosx.
