OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

\[\cos \left( \theta \right)= \cos^2\left( \frac \theta 2 \right)-\sin^2\left( \frac \theta 2 \right)\]\[=1 - 2\cdot \sin^2\left( \frac \theta 2 \right)\] \[\implies 2\sin^2\left( \frac \theta 2 \right) = -\cos(\theta)+1\]\[\large \implies \sin\left( \frac \theta 2 \right) = \pm \sqrt{-\cos(\theta)+1 \over 2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would i put that with the letterS?

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

Did you follow how I got the formula ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really :(

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

Have you learned the the identity: \[\sin^2(x) + \cos^2(x) =1\] and the formulas for \[\sin(\alpha+\beta)\ \&\ \cos(\alpha+\beta)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

|dw:1329087126804:dw| All right let's try this another way ... I drew the angle bisector for theta

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

Not sure if I can do it this way... If the length of angle bisector is Y ... \[\sin \left( \frac \theta 2 \right)= \frac XY\]|dw:1329088048678:dw| We already know:\[\large Y^2= A^2+X^2\]
