5. INTRODUCTION
If you write cos 2x as cos (x + x) and use the composite argument property, you can get a double argument property expressing cos 2x in terms of sines and cosines of x.
By performing algebraic operations on the double argument properties, you can derive similar half argument properties.
You will learn these properties and show that the product of two sinusoids with equal periods is a sinusoid with half the period and half the amplitude.

6. PRODUCT OF SINUSOIDS WITH EQUAL PERIODS
The graph shows y = sin x cos x appears to be a sinusoid with half the period and half the amplitude of the parent sine and cosine functions.
It’s equation would be y = ½ sin 2x. This calculation shows that this is true.
   ½ sin 2x = ½ sin (x + x)
Write 2x as x + x.
= ½ ( sin x cos x + cos x sin x)
Use the composite argument property.
 = ½ (2 sin x cos x)
 = sin x cos x
 sin x cos x = sin 2x
The product of sine and cosine with equal periods is a sinusoid.

7. PRODUCT OF SINUSOIDS WITH EQUAL PERIODS
The square of cosine and the square of sine have a similar property. This graph gives graphical evidence.
Both y = cos x and y = sin x are sinusoids with amplitude ½, period π, and sinusoidal axis y = ½. Notice that the two graphs are half-cycle out of phase.
This is why cos x + sin x = 1.

8. PROPERTIES
This box summarizes the conclusion, fulfilling the first part of this section’s objective. The second and third properties are also referred to as power-reducing identities.
Product of Sine and Cosine Property
sin x cos x = ½ sin 2x
Square of Cosine Property
cos x = ½ + ½ cos 2x
Square of Sine Property
sin x = ½ – ½ cos 2x
Note: The product of two sinusoids with equal periods, equal amplitudes and zero vertical translation is a sinusoid with half the period and half the amplitude.

9. DOUBLE ARGUMENT PROPERTIES
Multiplying both sides of the equation sin x cos x = ½ sin 2x by 2 gives an equation expressing sin 2x in terms of the sin and cosine of x.
sin 2x = 2 sin x cos x
Double argument property for sin.
Here’s how the double argument property for cosine can be derived:
cos 2x = cos (x + x)
= cos x cos x – sin x sin x
= cos x – sin x

If cos x = 0.3, find the exact value of cos 2X. Check your answer numerically by finding the value of x, doubling it, and finding the cosine of the resulting argument.
Solution:

Double argument property for cosine in terms of cosine alone.

Check: x = cos −1 0.3 = …
cos 2(1.2661…) = cos … = −0.82, which checks.
Note that for the properties to apply, all that matters is that one argument is twice the other argument.

3. Write the equation in Example 2 directly from the composite argument property for cosine.

Use Pythagorean property.
= 1 − 2 sin2 5x

13. HALF ARGUMENT PROPERTIES
The square of cosine property and the square of sine property state that
cos2 x = + cos 2x    and    sin2 x = − cos 2x
The argument x on the left in the equations is half the argument 2x on the right. Substituting A for 2x leads to
cos2 A= (1 + cos A)    and    sin2 A = (1 − cos A)
Taking the square roots gives half argument properties for cos ½ A and sin ½ A.

14. HALF ARGUMENT PROPERTIES
The way you can determine whether to choose the positive or negative sign of the ambigious ± sign is by looking at the quadrant in which ½ A terminates (not the quadrant in which A terminates).
For instance, if A = 120°, then ½ A is 60°, which terminates in the first quadrant, as shown in the left graph below. In this case, both sin ½ A and cos ½ A are positive. If A = 480° (which is coterminal with 120°), then ½ A is 240°, which terminates in quadrant III as shown in the right graph.
In this case, choose the negative sign for cos ½ A and sin ½ A.

15. HALF ARGUMENT PROPERTIES
The signs of sine and cosine don’t have to be the same for the same argument. If ½ A falls in Quadrant II or Quadrant iV, the signs of cos ½ A and sin ½ A are opposites
You can derive a half argument property for tan ½ A by dividing the respective properties for sine and cosine.
