Page 74 - In every plane triangle, the sum of two sides is to their difference as the tangent of half the sum of the angles opposite those sides is to the tangent of half their difference.
Page 55 - ... the logarithm of a fraction is equal to the logarithm of the numerator minus the logarithm of the denominator.
Page 48 - ... 77. By aid of the principles of Art. 76, any relation involving direct functions may be transformed into one involving inverse functions. Take for example the formula sin (x + y) = sin x cos у + cos x sin y. (A) Let sin x = a, and sin y = b. Then by Art. 76, x = sin-1 a, and у = sin-1 b.
