DEFINITION
Trigonometric identities are mathematical equations
that are true for all values of the variable where both
sides are defined. These identities involve
trigonometric functions such as sine (sin), cosine
(cos), tangent (tan), and others. They are used to
simplify expressions, solve trigonometric equations,
and prove mathematical relationships.
Proving Identities
To prove that a trigonometric equation is
an identity means to show that the
equation is true for all permissible
replacement of the variable.
GUIDELINES IN PROVING IDENTITIES:
Know the fundamental identities and derive the alternative
form of each.
Know the procedures for the operations of fractions, reducing
fractions, and transforming fractions into equivalent fractions,
factoring and special product techniques.
Use only substitution and simplification procedures that allow
you to work on exactly one side of the equation.
Select the complicated side of the equation and transform it to
the exact form of the other side.
GUIDELINES IN PROVING IDENTITIES:
Transform each side of the equation independently into the
same form.
Express the trigonometric functions in terms of sine and
cosine and then simplify.
Multiply the numerator and the denominator of a rational
expression by the conjugate of the denominator.
Simplify a square root of a fraction by using conjugate to
transform it into a quotient of perfect squares.
FORMULAS
1. RECIPROCAL RELATIONS
It express the relationship
between the basic trigonometric
functions and their reciprocal
counterparts. These identities are
useful for simplifying expressions
and solving trigonometric
equations.
2. EVEN-ODD IDENTITIES
Trigonometric functions have specific
symmetry properties that classify them
as either even or odd functions. These
properties help simplify expressions
and solve equations.
EVEN FUNCTION: f(−x)=f(x) → The
function remains unchanged when the input
is negated.
ODD FUNCTION: f(−x)=−f(x)f(-x) = -
f(x)f(−x)=−f(x) → The function's sign changes
when the input is negated.
3. COFUNCTION IDENTITIES
Co-function identities express
the relationship between
trigonometric functions of
complementary angles. Two
angles are complementary if
their sum is 90° (or π/2
radians).
4. PYTHAGOREAN IDENTITIES
Pythagorean identities are
derived from the Pythagorean
theorem and are fundamental
in trigonometry. They express
relationships between the
squares of sine, cosine,
tangent, and secant functions.
5. SUM AND DIFFERENCE ANGLE FORMULA
The sum of angles formulas help find the sine, cosine, and
tangent of the sum of two angles. These are useful for
simplifying expressions, solving equations, and proving
identities.

6. DIFFERENCE OF ANGLES FORMULAS
The difference of angles formulas help compute the sine,
cosine, and tangent of the difference between two angles.
These are useful for simplifying expressions, solving
equations, and proving identities.
7. DOUBLE ANGLE FORMULA
Double angle formulas express trigonometric functions
of 2A in terms of A. They are useful for simplifying
expressions, solving equations, and proving identities.
8.POWER REDUCTION FORMULAS
Power reduction formulas
express trigonometric functions
raised to a power in terms of
functions of lower powers.
These are derived from the
double-angle identities and help
in simplifying integrals and
trigonometric expressions.
9 .FUNCTION OF HALF ANGLES
Half-angle formulas express
trigonometric functions of
A/2​ in terms of functions of
A. These formulas are useful
in integration, solving
trigonometric equations, and
simplifying expressions.
10. SUM OF TWO ANGLES
The sum of angles formulas
allow us to find the sine,
cosine, and tangent of the
sum of two angles. These are
useful in solving
trigonometric equations,
simplifying expressions, and
proving identities.
11. DIFFERENCE OF TWO FUNCTIONS
The difference of angles formulas help compute the sine,
cosine, and tangent of the difference between two angles.
These are useful for simplifying expressions, solving
equations, and proving identities.
12. PRODUCT OF TWO FUNCTIONS
The difference of angles formulas help compute the sine,
cosine, and tangent of the difference between two angles.
These are useful for simplifying expressions, solving
equations, and proving identities.
