Sine = Opposite / Hypotenuse


lu
Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse
Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent
So

Cosecant = Hypotenuse / Opposite


Secant = Hypotenuse / Adjacent
Cotangent = Adjacent / Opposit
Fundamental Identities:

sin x / cos x = tan x
cos x / sin x = cot x = 1 / tan x
sec x = 1 / cos x

csc x = 1 / sin x
sin2 x + cos2 x = 1
tan2 x + 1 = sec2 x = 1 / cos2 x

cot2 x + 1 = csc2 x = 1 / sin2 x


Reduction Formulas:
sin (90 - x) = cos x
So

cos (90 - x) = sin x


tan (90 - x) = 1 / tan x = cot x

Sum Identities: Difference Identities:


nS
sin (a + b) = sin a cos b + sin b cos a sin (a - b) = sin a cos b - sin b cos a
cos (a + b) = cos a cos b - sin b sin a cos (a - b) = cos a cos b + sin b sin a
tan (a - b) = (tan a - tan b) / (1 + tan a tan b)
tan (a + b) = (tan a + tan b) / (1 - tan a tan b)

Double Angle Relationships: Half Angle Relationships:
sin2 x = (1 - cos 2x) / 2 sin (x/2) = [(1 - cos x) / 2]½
cos (x/2) = [(1 + cos x) / 2]½
cos2 x = (1 + cos 2x) / 2
tan (x/2) = [(1 - cos x) / (1 + cos x)]½
lu

sin 2x = 2 sin x cos x = (1 - cos x) /sin x = sin x /(1 + cos x)


cos 2x = cos2 x - sin2 x = 2 cos2 x - 1

Factorization Equations: Product Formulas:

sin a + sin b = 2 sin[(a + b)/2] cos[(a - b)/2]
sin a - sin b = 2 cos[(a + b)/2] sin[(a - b)/2]
cos a + cos b = 2 cos[(a + b)/2] cos[(a - b)/2]
sin x sin y = [cos(x - y) - cos(x + y)] / 2
sin x cos y = [sin(x - y) + sin(x + y)] / 2
cos x cos y = [cos(x - y) + cos(x + y)] / 2
lu
cos a - cos b = -2 sin[(a + b)/2] sin[(a - b)/2]
Law of Sines:
So

a /sin A = b /sin B = c /sin C


Law of Cosines:
a2 = b2 + c2 - 2bc cos A
If A = 90 degrees, then cos 90 = 0,

and the equation reduces to the
Pythagorean Theorem : a2 = b2 + c2
Pythagorean Triples:

x and y are positive integers, x > y :
Let a = x2 + y2 , b = 2xy , and c = x2 - y2
Then a2 = b2 + c2
lu
a sin x + b cos x:
Let q = arctan (- b / a)
Then a [sin x - (- b cos x / a)]
So

= a (sin x - sin q cos x / cos q)
= a (sin x cos q - cos x sin q) / cos q nS
= a sin (x - q) / cos q

sec(θ) = csc(θ) = tan(θ) = cot(θ) =
cos(θ) sin(θ) cos(θ) sin(θ)

• Odd: Sine and Tangent are odd functions, so sin(−x) = − sin(x), tan(−x) = − tan(x).

cos(90◦ − θ) = sin(θ), sin(90◦ − θ) = cos(θ), tan(90◦ − θ) = cot(θ), cot(90◦ − θ) = tan(θ),
sec(90◦ − θ) = csc(θ), csc(90◦ − θ) = sec(θ)
