CBSE Class 11 - Trigonometric Functions: Important Formulas
1. sinx + cosx = 1
2. 1 + tanx = secx
3. 1 + cotx = cosecx
Angle Conversions:
4. Radian = Degree (pi / 180)
5. Degree = Radian (180 / pi)
Trigonometric Ratios in Terms of Each Other:
6. tan x = sin x / cos x
7. cot x = cos x / sin x
8. sec x = 1 / cos x
9. cosec x = 1 / sin x
Signs in Quadrants (ASTC Rule):
I: All positive | II: Sin +ve | III: Tan +ve | IV: Cos +ve
Trigonometric Function Values:
10. sin 0 = 0, sin 30 = 1/2, sin 45 = sqrt2/2, sin 60 = sqrt3/2, sin 90 = 1
11. cos 0 = 1, cos 30 = sqrt3/2, cos 45 = sqrt2/2, cos 60 = 1/2, cos 90 = 0
12. tan 0 = 0, tan 30 = 1/sqrt3, tan 45 = 1, tan 60 = sqrt3, tan 90 = undefined
Trigonometric Identities (Angle Sum and Difference):
13. sin(x +/- y) = sin x cos y +/- cos x sin y
14. cos(x +/- y) = cos x cos y -/+ sin x sin y
15. tan(x +/- y) = (tan x +/- tan y) / (1 -/+ tan x tan y)
Double Angle Formulas:
16. sin 2x = 2 sin x cos x
17. cos 2x = cosx sinx = 2cosx 1 = 1 2sinx
18. tan 2x = (2 tan x) / (1 tanx)
Triple Angle Formulas:
19. sin 3x = 3 sin x 4 sinx
20. cos 3x = 4 cosx 3 cos x
21. tan 3x = (3 tan x tanx) / (1 3 tanx)
Product to Sum Formulas:
22. 2 sin A cos B = sin(A + B) + sin(A B)
23. 2 cos A cos B = cos(A + B) + cos(A B)
24. 2 sin A sin B = cos(A B) cos(A + B)
Sum to Product Formulas:
25. sin A +/- sin B = 2 sin((A +/- B)/2) cos((A -/+ B)/2)
26. cos A + cos B = 2 cos((A + B)/2) cos((A B)/2)
27. cos A cos B = 2 sin((A + B)/2) sin((A B)/2)
