tan3α=sin3α/cos3α
=(sin2αcosα+cos2αsinα)/(cos2αcosα-sin2αsinα)
=(2sinαcos^2(α)+cos^2(α)sinα-sin^3(α))/(cos^3(α)-cosαsin^2(α)-2sin^2(α)cosα)
上下同除以cos^3(α),得:
tan3α=(3tanα-tan^3(α))/(1-3tan^2(α))
sin3α=sin(2α+α)=sin2αcosα+cos2αsinα
=2sinαcos^2(α)+(1-2sin^2(α))sinα
=2sinα-2sin^3(α)+sinα-2sin^2(α)
=3sinα-4sin^3(α)
cos3α=cos(2α+α)=cos2αcosα-sin2αsinα
=(2cos^2(α)-1)cosα-2cosαsin^2(α)
=2cos^3(α)-cosα+(2cosα-2cos^3(α))
=4cos^3(α)-3cosα
即
sin3α=3sinα-4sin^3(α)
cos3α=4cos^3(α)-3cosα
