How do I remember go around from remembering these? I already remember the addition of angles formulas like sin(a+b)=sin(a)cos(b)+cos(a)sin(b). Can I use these to somehow formulate the sum to product and product to sum formulas?
just print them out if you really need them
I don't know anyone who has these memorized

Yes, just add those formulas.

that fourth equation is redundant, it follows from the third

on an exam?

Just write them as complex exponentials and re-derive them as needed.

yea......I meant easier and not time consuming. I want hacks like the "magic hexagon" for trig functions type of shit.

Not everything has an easy way.

Well for poor people...(unlucky for me).

Dude, they are obvious if you know the addition identities.
You want cosa cosb ?
Well, in which identities does cos a cos b appear?
In cos(a+b) and cos(a-b):
cos(a+b) = cosa cosb - sina sinb
cos(a-b) = cosa cosb + sina sinb
Add the equations and get
cos(a+b) + cos(a-b) = 2 cosa cosb
that's it
