Power-reducing identities rewrite squared trig functions using the double angle, lowering the exponent.
The math behind it
sin²θ = (1 − cos 2θ)/2, cos²θ = (1 + cos 2θ)/2, and tan²θ = (1 − cos 2θ)/(1 + cos 2θ).
Worked Example
sin²(30°) = (1 − cos 60°)/2 = (1 − 0.5)/2 = 0.25.
Frequently Asked Questions
