cos 2X = 1/2 + (1/2)cos(2X))
sin 3X = (3/4)sinX - (1/4)sin(3X)
cos 3X = (3/4)cosX + (1/4)cos(3X)
sin 4X = (3/8) - (1/2)cos(2X) + (1/8)cos(4X)
cos 4X = (3/8) + (1/2)cos(2X) + (1/8)cos(4X)
sin 5X = (5/8)sinX - (5/16)sin(3X) + (1/16)sin(5X)
cos 5X = (5/8)cosX + (5/16)cos(3X) + (1/16)cos(5X)
sin 6X = 5/16 - (15/32)cos(2X) + (6/32)cos(4X) -
(1/32)cos(6X)
