Space, shape and measurement: Solve problems by constructing and interpreting trigonometric models

• Use the following compound angle identities:
  [latex]\scriptsize \sin (\alpha \pm \beta )=\sin \alpha \cos \beta \pm \cos \alpha \sin \beta[/latex]
  [latex]\scriptsize \cos (\alpha \pm \beta )=\cos \alpha \cos \beta \mp \sin \alpha \sin \beta[/latex]
  to derive and apply the following double angle identities:
  [latex]\scriptsize \sin 2\alpha =2\sin \alpha \cos \alpha[/latex]
  [latex]\scriptsize \cos 2\alpha =\left\{ \begin{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha -{{\sin }^{2}}\alpha \\2{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha -1\\1-2{{\sin }^{2}}\alpha \end{align*} \right\}[/latex]
•  Determine the specific solutions of trigonometric expressions using compound and double angle identities without a calculator (e.g. [latex]\scriptsize \sin {{120}^\circ}[/latex], [latex]\scriptsize \cos {{75}^\circ}[/latex], etc.).
• Use compound angle identities to simplify trigonometric expressions and to prove trigonometric equations.
• Determine the specific solutions of trigonometric equations by using knowledge of compound angles and identities.
  Note:
  • Solutions: [latex]\scriptsize \left[ {{{0}^\circ},{{{360}}^\circ}} \right][/latex].
  • Identities limited to:
