Trig Identities Flashcards
Compound angle
Sin is sin cos and signs normal
Cos is coscos - sin sin
- becomes cos cos + sin sin
Tan divide through, becomes tan x + tan y/ 1 + tan x tan y or -
How to rewrite stuff like cos 75 as a Süd-
Pick two angles that can be written as surfs (0 30 45 60 90)
Rewrite and expand
Pick wisely for double angle for cos, when dhoudl you choose what
If sqaures involved tan probably first
Otherwise based on like terms pick second third to quadratic it
BIG MISTAKE
NEVER DIVIDE BY A TRIG WHEN SO,VING THESE ANGLE QUESTIONS
WHY NOT
ALWAYS FAVTORISE, THIS GETS RID OF A POTENTIAL SOLUTION BECAUSE ITS POSIBLE THST IT COULD BE =
NEVER DO THIS UNLESS COS
How to use R formula?
To find r and x
Expand to rn formula they give you to give you compound
Equate coefficients
Now if you swaure both and them together you get a triangle to find value for r
And if you divide one by the other, you get tan x = b/a so you can find out x
And for other a2 +b2 = r2
What can you use r formula to do?
How to solve a com0x formula
Can make it one thing so sketching graoh becomes more easier
Can make it into one thing so thst SOLVING A FORMULA BECOMES MUCH EASIER
How to know which compound formula to use
EACH SHOULD WORK, procided you do Esch correctly
The only thing is if you observe, try to match one to one that looks like it with the CORRECT SIGNS, will make it easier
For example if cosx + sin y, use cos (x-y) as this matches the order of cos and also THE SIGN IN THE MIDDLE
How to even solve these trig things again cuz you clearly forgot
Adjust the range by adding or subtracting whatever happening to x to both 0 and the extreme!
Now solve for it using those new ranges (using cast etc)
Finally adjust
