Fundamental Trig Identities (1)
cscθ = 1/sinθ secθ = 1/cosθ tanθ = sinθ/cosθ cotθ = cosθ/sinθ
Fundamental Trig Identities (2)
sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
1 + tan2θ = sec2θ
1 + cot2θ = csc2θ
Fundamental Trig Identities (3)
sin(-θ) = -sin(θ) cos(-θ) = cos(θ) tan(-θ) = -tan(θ)
Fundamental Trig Identities (4)
sin(π/2 - θ) = cosθ
cos(π/2 - θ) = sinθ
tan(π/2 - θ) = cotθ
Addition and Subtraction Formulas
sin(x+y) = sinx*cosy + cosx*siny sin(x-y) = sinx*cosy - cosx*siny cos(x+y) = cosx*cosy - sinx*siny cos(x-y) = cosx*cosy + sinx*siny tan(x+y) = (tanx + tany) / (1 - tanx*tany) tan(x-y) = (tanx - tany) / (1 + tanx*tany)
Double-Angle Formulas
sin2x = 2sinx*cosx cos2x = cos2x - sin2x = 2cos2x - 1 = 1 - 2sin2x tan2x = (2tanx) / (1 - tan2x)
Half-Angle Formulas
sin2x = (1 - cos2x) / 2 cos2x = (1 + cos2x) / 2
Trig Function Derivatives
cos(x) = -sin(x) sin(x) = cos(x) tan(x) = sec2(x) cot(x) = -csc2(x) sec(x) = sec(x)*tan(x) csc(x) = -csc(x)*cot(x)
Basic Integration Formulas
d/dx (C) = 0 ∫ 0 dx = C
d/dx (xn) = nxn-1 ∫ xn dx = (xn+1)/(n+1) + C
d/dx (lnx) = 1/x ∫ 1/x dx = lnx + C
d/dx ax = axlna ∫ ax dx = ax/lna + C
Three ways a Limit fails to exist:
You approach two different Y-values as X approaches the given value from the right and from the left
Unbounded behavior from the function in either (or both) direction
Oscillating Behavior
Two Special Limits
limx->0(sin(x)) / x = 1
limx->0(cos(x)) - 1 / x = 0
A function is continuous if…:
The limit of f(x) at x = a exists limx->a f(x) exists The function must exist f(a) exists the limit and the function must be equal limx->a f(x) = f(a)
How to know you have a horizontal asymptote
If you start with infinity and end with a finite number, you have a horizontal asymptote.
How to know you have a vertical asymptote
If you start with a finite value and end with infinity, you have a vertical asymptote.
