Crimson Sunbird Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 [latex]\sin x+\sin y = 2\sin\frac{x+y}2\cos\frac{x-y}2=\pm2\sin\frac{x+y}2\sqrt{1-\sin^2\frac{x-y}2}[/latex]NB: [latex]\cos\frac{x-y}2=\color{red}\pm\color{black}\sqrt{1-\sin^2\frac{x-y}2}[/latex] as [latex]\cos\frac{x-y}2[/latex] can be negative (e.g. when [latex]x=270^{\circ},y=30^{\circ}[/latex]). 1
