積化和差公式主要包括以下幾種形式:
sinα⋅cosβ=12[sin(α+β)+sin(α−β)]\sin \alpha \cdot \cos \beta = \frac{1}{2} [\sin(\alpha + \beta) + \sin(\alpha - \beta)]sinα⋅cosβ=21[sin(α+β)+sin(α−β)]
cosα⋅sinβ=12[sin(α+β)−sin(α−β)]\cos \alpha \cdot \sin \beta = \frac{1}{2} [\sin(\alpha + \beta) - \sin(\alpha - \beta)]cosα⋅sinβ=21[sin(α+β)−sin(α−β)]
cosα⋅cosβ=12[cos(α+β)+cos(α−β)]\cos \alpha \cdot \cos \beta = \frac{1}{2} [\cos(\alpha + \beta) + \cos(\alpha - \beta)]cosα⋅cosβ=21[cos(α+β)+cos(α−β)]
sinα⋅sinβ=−12[cos(α+β)−cos(α−β)]\sin \alpha \cdot \sin \beta = -\frac{1}{2} [\cos(\alpha + \beta) - \cos(\alpha - \beta)]sinα⋅sinβ=−21[cos(α+β)−cos(α−β)]
