Trigonometric Identities (Book 2 page 65) Objectives: By the end of this section student should be able to Identify Fundamental or Basic Identities Find trigonometric values using the trig Identities Evaluate trigonometric functions Identities Equations: Three types 1) Conditional equations: These types of equations have finitely number of solutions. Example: a) 2xx 5 = 7xx, b) 3xx 2 4xx 6 = 0 2) Contradictions: These are equations that do not have solutions Examples: 2xx 1 = 2(xx 1) + 6 3) Identities: These types of equations hold true for any value of the variable Examples: (xx + 5)(xx 5) = xx² 25 Trigonometric Identities are identities of the Trigonometric equations. We use an identity to give an expression a more convenient form. In calculus and all its applications, the trigonometric identities are of central importance. Fundamental or Basic Trigonometric Identities Reciprocal Identities, Quotient Identities and Pythagorean Identities 1) Reciprocal identities (Page: 65) ssssss θθ =, aaaaaa cccccc θθ = cccccc θθ = tttttt θθ = ccccccθθ ssssssss cccccccc, and ssssss θθ =, and ccoooo θθ = ssssssss cccccccc tttttttt Proof: Follows directly from the definition of trig functions. 2) Quotient Identities tttttt θθ = ssssssss cccccccc cccccccc, and cccccc θθ = ssssssss Proof: Follows directly from the definition of trig functions. 2
3) Pythagorean Identities ( page: 66 & 67) a) ssssss²θθ + cccccc²θθ = b) + tttttt²θθ = ssssss²θθ c) + cccccc²θθ = cccccc ²θθ Proof: a) Let PP(xx, yy) be on the terminal side of the angle θθ. Then rr = xx 22 + yy 22 which implies that rr 22 = xx 22 + yy 22, ssssss θθ = yy rr, and cccccc θθ = xx rr And so, ssssss²θθ + cccccc²θθ = xx22 yy22 + = xx22 + yy 22 rr22 rr 22 rr 22 = rr22 = rr22 Example: Book 2: Example 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 reading (67 69) Note: From a) it follows that: ssssss²θθ = cccccc²θθ and cccccc²θθ = ssssss²θθ, b) and c) are similarly proved. ssssss²θθ, "sine squared theta", means(ssssss θθ)² Example 1: a) Express sin θθ in terms of cos θθ b) Express cos θθ in terms of sin θθ c) Express tan θθ in terms of cos θθ, where θ in Quadrant II d) If tan θθ = 3 and θ is in Quadrant III, find sin θθ and cos θθ 2 e) If cos θθ = 1 and θ is in Quadrant IV, find all other trig values of θ 2 f) Use the basic trigonometric identities to determine the other five values of the trigonometric functions given that sin αα = 7/8 and cos αα > 0. g) xx is in quadrant II and ssssss xx = 1/5.
