Trigonometric Formulas for Class

12
Trigonometric formulas for class 12 involve the use of trigonometric
functions and trigonometric identities. With the introduction of inverse
trigonometry functions and their properties, it often becomes confusing
for students to comprehend these concepts. So, it is essential to gain
clarity on these formulas before applying them. This article has
summarized all important trigonometric formulas for class 12 that
students should go through and memorize.

List of Trigonometric Formulas for Class 12

Range of sine function : R→ [- 1, 1]
Range of cosine function : R → [- 1, 1]
Range of tangent function : R – { x : x = (2n + 1) 2 π , n ∈ Z} →R
Principal branch of inverse of Sine function : → [−π/2, π/2 ]
Principal branch of inverse of Cosine function : → [0, π ]
Principal branch of inverse of Tangent function : → [-π/2, π/2 ]

sin-1 (-x) = – sin-1 x

tan-1 (-x) = - tan-1 x

tan-1 x + cot-1 x = 2 π

sin-1 (sin x) = x

Applications of Trigonometric Formulas for

Class 12
Trigonometric formulas find their place in several domains. Some of the
examples of the application of trigonometry formulas for class 12 are
given below:

Trigonometric formulas for class 12 aid in determining the behavior as

well as the size of a variety of sea creatures. For example, the
photosynthesis of algae can be found out using information about the
light falling under the water at a specific angle.
Engineers use trigonometry to design and analyze structures. Thus,
whether it's civil, chemical, electrical engineering or aerospace
trigonometric formulas are used everywhere.
Designing various instruments and tools also requires trigonometric
calculations and analysis.

Tips to Memorize Trigonometric Formulas for

Class 12
To help students memorize the trigonometric formulas for class 12
below-mentioned are some useful tips.

Students must practice the formulas along with their logical

explanations to understand their applications. Once the logic is clear,
they will understand to apply them in different contexts.
Students can find various online resources like formula sheets,
simulations and worksheets to memorize these formulas. They can
also save the formula images on their devices to revise them.
It is important that students clear all their doubts related to these
formulas before applying them. They can take the help of their
teachers and parents in clearing all their doubts.

Trigonometric Formulas for Class 12 Examples

Example 1: Find the value of sin-1 (sin 4π/5 )?

Solution: Using formula, sin-1 (sin x) = x but the principal value branch of
sin–1 (x) is [-π/2, π/2] and 4π/5 does not fall within [-π/2, π/2]

However, by using identity sin(π−x) = sinx, we can write sin 4π/5 as sin
(π - 4π/5) = sin (π/5)

= sin-1 (sin π/5 ) and π/5 ∈ [-π/2, π/2]

= π/5

Example 2: Find the value of cos(sin-1 x + cos-1 x)?

Solution: We know that,

sin-1 x + cos-1 x = π/2

So, cos (sin-1 x + cos-1 x) = cos (π/2)

Thus,cos (π/2) = 0
