Trigonometric
Identities and
Formulas
Below are some of the most important
definitions, identities and formulas in
trigonometry.
1.
Trigonometric Functions of
Acute Angles
sin X = opp / hyp = a / c , csc X = hyp / opp =
c/a
2.
Trigonometric Functions of
Arbitrary Angles
sin X = b / r , csc X = r / b
tan X = b / a , cot X = a / b
cos X = a / r , sec X = r / a
3.
Special Triangles
Special triangles may be used to find
trigonometric functions of special angles:
30, 45 and 60 degress.
4.
a 2 = b 2 + c 2 - 2 b c cos A
b 2 = a 2 + c 2 - 2 a c cos B
c 2 = a 2 + b 2 - 2 a b cos C
5.
Relations Between
Trigonometric Functions
cscX = 1 / sinX
sinX = 1 / cscX
secX = 1 / cosX
cosX = 1 / secX
tanX = 1 / cotX
cotX = 1 / tanX
6.
Pythagorean Identities
sin 2X + cos 2X = 1
1 + tan 2X = sec 2X
1 + cot 2X = csc 2X
7.
8.
Cofunctions Identities
sin(pi/2 - X) = cosX
cos(pi/2 - X) = sinX
tan(pi/2 - X) = cotX
cot(pi/2 - X) = tanX
sec(pi/2 - X) = cscX
csc(pi/2 - X) = secX
9.
Addition Formulas
cos(X + Y) = cosX cosY - sinX sinY
10.
11.
Difference to Product
Formulas
cosX - cosY = - 2sin[ (X + Y) / 2 ] sin[ (X - Y) /
2]
12.
Product to Sum/Difference
Formulas
cosX cosY = (1/2) [ cos (X - Y) + cos (X + Y) ]
13.
Difference of Squares
Formulas
sin 2X - sin 2Y = sin(X + Y)sin(X - Y)
