another well known tangent half-angle formula says: Apr 3, 2011using angle sum-difference, double, and/or triple angle relations with tangent, cosine, and sine, need help proving tangent half-angle relations. Jul 22, 2020using the fact that the angle bisector of the below triangle splits the opposite side in the same proportion as the adjacents sides, i need to give a geometric proof of the half-angle tangent $. When you include that other angle whose tangent is α α, the sine and cosine of the angle are minus what they were before, and then the half-angle, and its tangent, are different from what they. Jan 25, 2023i suspect the phase shift of $\pi/2$ comes from the fact that $\tan (2x - \pi) = \tan 2x$, since the tangent has a period of $\pi$ rather than $2\pi$. The equation above is a coordinate-free way of constructing a unit position vector rotated an angle $\theta$ counterclockwise from a given unit vector: Find a unit vector at a right angle.
