Basic Formulas

sin, cos tan at 0, 30, 45, 60 degrees

Pythagorean Identities

Signs of sin, cos, tan in different quadrants

To learn sign of sin, cos, tan in different quadrants,

we remember

A dd → S ugar → T o → C offee

Representing as a table

Radians

Radian measure = π/180  ×  Degree measure

Also,

1 Degree = 60 minutes

i.e. 1° = 60’

1 Minute = 60 seconds

i.e. 1’ = 60’’

Negative angles (Even-Odd Identities)

sin (–x) = – sin x

cos (–x) = cos x

tan (–x) = – tan x

sec (–x) = sec x

cosec (–x) = – cosec x

cot (–x) = – cot x

Value of sin, cos, tan repeats after 2π

sin (2π + x) = sin x

cos (2π + x) = cos x

tan (2π + x) = tan x

Shifting angle by π/2, π,  3π/2 (Co-Function Identities or Periodicity Identities)

Angle sum and difference identities

Double Angle Formulas

Triple Angle Formulas

Half Angle Identities (Power reducing formulas)

Sum Identities (Sum to Product Identities)

Product Identities (Product to Sum Identities)

Product to sum identities are

  2 cos⁡x  cos⁡y = cos⁡ (x + y) + cos⁡(x - y)

  -2 sin⁡x  sin⁡y = cos⁡ (x + y) - cos⁡(x - y)

  2 sin⁡x  cos⁡y = sin⁡ (x + y) + sin⁡(x - y)

  2 cos⁡x  sin⁡y = sin⁡ (x + y) - sin⁡(x - y)

Law of sine

Here

• A, B, C are vertices of Δ ABC
• a is side opposite to A i.e. BC
• b is side opposite to B i.e. AC
• c is side opposite to C i.e. AB

Law of cosine

Just like Sine Law, we have cosine Law

What are Inverse Trigonometric Functions

If sin θ = x

Then putting sin on the right side

  θ = sin ^-1 x

  sin ^-1 x = θ

So, inverse of sin is an angle.

Similarly, inverse of all the trigonometry function is angle.

Note : Here angle is measured in radians, not degrees.

So, we have

  sin ^-1 x

  cos ^-1 x

  tan ^-1 x

  cosec ^-1 x

  sec ^-1 x

  tan ^-1 x

Domain and Range of Inverse Trigonometric Functions

Inverse Trigonometry Formulas

Some formulae for Inverse Trigonometry are

sin ^–1 (–x) = – sin ^-1 x

cos ^–1 (–x) = π – sin ^-1 x

tan ^–1 (–x) = – tan ^-1 x

cosec ^–1 (–x) = – cosec ^-1 x

sec ^–1 (–x) = – sec ^-1 x

cot ^–1 (–x) = π – cot ^-1 x
