Identities Flashcards
Sine of a Sum
sin(A+B) = sin(A)cos(B) + cos(A)sin(B)
Sine of a Difference
sin(A–B) = sin(A)cos(B) – cos(A)sin(B)
Tangent of a Sum
tan(A+B) = tan(A) + tan(B)
1 – tan(A)tan(B)
Tangent of a Difference
tan(A+B) = tan(A) – tan(B)
1 + tan(A)tan(B)
Cosine of a Sum
cos(A+B) = cos(A)cos(B) – sin(A)sin(B)
Cosine of a Difference
cos(A–B) = cos(A)cos(B) + sin(A)sin(B)
Cofunction Identities
cos(90º – θ) = sin(θ)
cot(90º – θ) = tan(θ)
csc(90º – θ) = sec(θ)
ex: csc(35) = sec(55)
Odd Trig Fuctions
cos(-x) = cos(x)
sec(-x) = sec(x)
Even Trig Functions
sin(-x) = -sin(x)
csc(-x) = -csc(x)
tan(-x) = -tan(x)
cot(-x) = -cot(x)
Pythagorean Identities
(sin/cos)
sin2(θ) + cos2(θ) = 1
Pythagorean Identities
(tan/sec)
tan2(θ) + 1 = sec2(θ)
Pythagorean Identites
(cot/csc)
1 + cot2(θ) = csc2(θ)
Double Angle Identites
(cos2A)
cos2(A) = cos2(A) – sin2(A)
cos2(A) = 2cos2(A) – 1
cos2(A) = 1 – 2sin2(A)
Double Angle Identites
(tan)
tan2(A) = 2tan(A)
1 – tan2(A)
Double Angle Identities
(sin)
sin2(A) = 2sin(A)•cos(A)
