addition formula
The trigonometric functions of the sum or difference of two angles that are expressed in terms of separate functions of the angles.

symbol spacesin(x + y) = sinx cosy + cosx siny
symbol spacesin(x - y) = sinx cosy - cosx siny
symbol spacecos(x + y) = cosx cosy - sinx siny
symbol spacecos(x - y) = cosx cosy + sinx siny
symbol spacetan(x + y) = (tanx + tany)/(1- tanx tany)
symbol spacetan(x - y) = (tanx - tany)/(1 + tanx tany)
