 * Aim: How do we find the the tangent of the sum of two angles and the tangent of the difference of two angles?** //(This formula will be given on the Regents Reference sheet)//

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to...
 * 1) apply the sum and difference formulas for sine and cosine to discover the formulas for the tangent of the sum of two angles and the tangent of the difference of two angles
 * 2) apply the tangent sum and the tangent difference formulas to find exact values of problems
 * 3) state the tangent sum and the tangent difference formulas in words.

Copy down these questions into your notebooks. Answer them as you watch the video.


 * 1) What is the tangent sum formula?
 * 2) What is the tangent difference formula?
