3. The R-formula
When to use?
Convert sum of 2 different
type trigonometric ratios
to one trigonometric ratio
tan =
Note:
Remember to take note
of the +/- sign when
using the R-formula
Equations of the form
cos + sin =
can be solved by first
converting them using Rformula
Example 5
Express 4 sin + 3 cos in the form sin( + ), where R is positive and is acute.
Hence find the maximum and minimum values of the expression 4 sin + 3 cos .
Find also the values of for which these values occur, where 0 360.
Solve the equation 4 sin + 3 cos = 5.
Example 6
Express 5 cos 2 + 12 sin in the form cos( ), where R is positive and is acute.
Hence, or otherwise, find the maximum value of

Example 7
Solve sin 3 + sin 5 = 0 for 0 360.
Example 8
Solve cos + cos 2 + cos 3 + cos 4 = 0 for 0 360.
Example 10
Solve the equation cos cos 2 sin sin 4 = 0 for 0 180.
Example 11
Show that cos cos 3 = 4 sin2 cos .
Hence, or otherwise, solve the equation 2 cos + cos 3 = 0 for 0 .
