Talk:Sextuple Angle Formulas/Sine

I think the main theorem and corollary should be switched to be consistent with other pages. --Robkahn131 (talk) 01:01, 27 February 2021 (UTC)


 * I've been sitting here for half an hour trying to work out an argument to back up "no", and having difficulty.


 * A corollary is a result which follows simply and/or trivially from another result.


 * The existing corollary to this page is actually the one which is misnamed, because it is not a corollary of Sextuple Angle Formulas/Sine but is derived from a completely different result.


 * When $N = 3$, the corollary would have a $\cos^2 \theta$ term


 * When $N = 4$, the corollary has a $\cos^3 \theta$ term


 * When $N = 5$, the corollary has a $\cos^4 \theta$ term


 * So When $N = 6$, the corollary "should" have a $\cos^5 \theta$ term, but it is switched


 * Regarding your other point about the corollary being derived from a separate result...
 * Once we make the switch, the corollary would/could look like this...

 * The existing results were posted up only because they appeared as exercises in various texts. Sorry, but I don't see the need for an avalanche of more or less trivial applications of ever more complicated and contrived formulas of no particular profundity just because we've been able to fill in the numbers and turn the handle. --prime mover (talk) 16:18, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
