but as we said earlier that we can apply trignometry almost everywhere but
it is not necessary that all triangles are right angle traiangles.So,thats why
we generalized these trignometric ratios drive from right angle triangle with
the coordinates of a unit circle. i.e,
where θ is angle between the positive x − axis and a line drawn from the
origin to a point (x, y) on the circle.
PYTHAGORIAN IDENTITIES: As we know that the equation of area of
the unit circle is,
x2 + y 2 = 1
and as we also know that x ≡ cos θ and y ≡ sin θ.So,subsituting in above
equation we get,
1
and
(cot θ)2 + 1 = (csc θ)2
COMPLEMENT IDENTITIES: Did you notice that ”cosine” is basically
the complement of ”sine”. i.e,
sin θ = cos(90◦ − θ)
likewise,
sin θ = cos(90◦ − θ)
tan θ = cot(90◦ − θ)
COMPOUND ANGLES:
We can prove the following formula by using a geometry,but here just write
it.
sin(α + β) = sin α cos β + cos α sin β
then sin(α − β) can be wriiten by just replacing β with −β in above for-
mula and then using the fact that cos is even function and sin is odd func-
tion.Finally,we get
and
cos(α − β) = cos α cos β + sin α sin β
we can drive other identities by using these,if put β = α in sin(α + β) we
get,
sin 2α = 2 sin α cos α
and now putting β = α in cos(α + β) we get another important identity, i.e,
