Q
Radians into degrees
A
180 = Pi
1 = Pi/ 180
1
Q
Double angles
A
Sin2x = 2sinxcosx
Cos2x =2 cos^2x - sin^2x
Tan2x = 2tanx/1-tan^2x
2
Q
Degrees into radians
A
Pi = 180
1c = 180/Pi
3
Q
Formula for arc length and area of sector
A
L = theta radius
A = .5 r^2 (theta - sin theta)
4
Q
Differentiating trig functions
A
y = sinx y' = cosx
y = cosx y' = -sinx
y = tanx y' = sec^2x
5
Q
Graphing trig functions
A
y = asinbx or acosbx a = amplitude
b = period
= 2pi / b
y = atanbx
b = Pi / b
6
Q
Integrating cos^2x and sin^2x
A
Use cos2x=2cos^2x - sin^2x

Q
Chain rule of differentiation
A
Sinf(x) = f’(x)cosf(x)
Cosf(x) = -f’(x)sinf(x)
Tanf(x) = f’(x)sec^2f(x)
