Trigonometry is the study of triangle measurements.Because everywhere tri-


angles are hidden so trigonometry has wide range of applications.

PYTHAGORAS THEOREM AND PYTHAGOREAN IDENTITIES:


Pythagoras theorem is applicable on just right angle triangle.

i.e, (pythagoras theorem)

(hyp)2 = (base)2 + (perp)2

and drive trignometric rations from right angle triangle.

per base per


i.e, sin θ = hyp , cos θ = hyp , tan θ = base

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,

(x, y) ≡ (cos θ, sin θ)

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,

(cos θ)2 + (sin θ)2 = 1


dividing above equation with (cos θ)2 and then (sin θ)2 we will get two more
pythagoran identities.

1 + (tan θ)2 = (sec θ)2

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

sin(α − β) = sin α cos β − cos α sin β


by using complement identities,we have

cos(α + β) = cos α cos β − sin α sin β

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,

cos 2α = (cos α)2 − (sin α)2

THERE IS NO GREATER SATISFACTION FOR A JUST AND WELL

VOTED HIS BEST ENERGIES TO THE SERVICE OF A GOOD CAUSE.
