A Trigonometric identity or trig identity is an identity that contains the trigonometric functions sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan), cotangent (cot), secant (sec), or cosecant (csc). Trigonometric identities can use to: Simplify trigonometric expressions. Solve trigonometric equations.
1 Sine and Cosine Rules. In the triangle ABC, the side opposite angle A has length a, the side opposite angle B has length b and the side opposite angle C has length c. The sine rule states. A. sin A sin B sin C. = = b c. C. a. B. Proof of Sine Rule. A. If you construct the perpendicular from vertex A to meet side CB at N, then. b. c.
This document provides formulas and definitions related to trigonometry. It includes basic trigonometric identities, definitions of trig functions using angles, formulas for allied angles, graphs of trig functions, formulas for sums and differences of angles, factoring identities, and trigonometric equations.
Trigonometric functions. The primary trigonometric functions are the sine and cosine of an angle. These are sometimes abbreviated sin(θ) and cos(θ), respectively, where θ is the angle, but the parentheses around the angle are often omitted, e.g., sin θ and cos θ.
In this unit we are going to look at trigonometric identities and how to use them to solve trigonometric equations. In order to master the techniques explained here it is vital that you undertake plenty of practice exercises so that they become second nature.
sin θ. On the other hand, tan θ = is true for all values of θ, so this is an identity. cos θ. The relationships (1) to (5) above are true for all values of θ, and so are identities. They can be used to simplify trigonometric expressions, and to prove other identities.
