Exam 2 Flashcards
1
Q
Pythagorean Identities (Trigonometric Identities)
A
Sin2x+cos2x=1
Cot2x+1 = csc2x
tan2x+1 = sec2x
2
Q
Reciprocal Identities (Trigonometric Identities)
A
cscx=1/sinx
secx=1/cosx
cotx=1/tanx
3
Q
Quotient Identities (Trigonometric Identities)
A
Tanx = sinx/cosx Cotx = cosx/sinx
4
Q
Sum and difference formulas
A
sin(a+-b) = sinacosb+-cosasinb cos(a+-b) = cosacosb-+sinasinb
5
Q
Double angle formulas
A
sin(2x) = 2sinxcosx
cos(2x) = cos2x-sin2x
tan (2x) = 2tanx/1-tan2x
6
Q
Right triangle equations:
A
sinx = co/h
cosx = ca/h
tan x = co/ca
7
Q
Law of Sines
A
sin A/a = sinB/b = sinC/c
8
Q
Law of Cosines
A
a2 = b2 + c2 - 2bccosA
CosA = b2 + c2 -a2/2bc
(then rearrange)
