Sine function
The sine function is defined in a right-angled triangle as the ratio of the opposite side and the hypotenuse.
The function is defined from −∞ to +∞ and takes values from −1 to 1.

$$ \sin\alpha = \frac{a}{c} $$
$$ \sin\beta = \frac{b}{c} $$
$$ \begin{aligned} &\sin(\alpha + \beta) = \\& = \sin\alpha\cos\beta + \cos\alpha\sin\beta \\ \\ &\sin(\alpha - \beta) = \\& = \sin\alpha\cos\beta - \cos\alpha\sin\beta \end{aligned} $$
$$ \begin{aligned} &\sin\alpha + \sin\beta = \\& = 2\cdot\sin\frac{\alpha + \beta}{2}\cdot\cos\frac{\alpha - \beta}{2} \\ \\ &\sin\alpha - \sin\beta = \\& = 2\cdot\cos\frac{\alpha + \beta}{2}\cdot\sin\frac{\alpha - \beta}{2} \end{aligned} $$
$$ \begin{aligned} & \sin 2\alpha = 2\cdot\sin\alpha\cos\alpha \\ \\ & \sin(-\alpha) = -\sin\alpha \\ \\ & \left|\sin\frac{\alpha}{2}\right| = \sqrt{\frac{1-\cos\alpha}{2}} \end{aligned} $$
$$ \begin{aligned} & \sin^2\alpha + \cos^2\alpha = 1 \\ \\ & \tan\alpha \cdot \cot\alpha = 1 \ \Rightarrow \\ & \cot\alpha = \frac{1}{\tan\alpha} \\ \\ & \tan\alpha = \frac{\sin\alpha}{\cos\alpha} \\ \\ & \cot\alpha = \frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin\alpha} \end{aligned} $$
