BSED – MATHEMATICS 1B
WHAT IS TRIGONOMETRY?
◦ The Greek words trigonon ("triangle") and metron ("to measure") are
used to form the word trigonometry. Trigonometry was primarily
concerned with determining the numerical values of missing portions
of a triangle (or any geometry that can be split into triangles) when
the values of other parts were known until around the 16th century. If
you know the lengths of two sides of a triangle and the measure of
the contained angle, you can calculate the third side and the two
remaining angles. These computations set trigonometry apart from
geometry, which focuses on qualitative relationships. Of fact, this
separation is not necessarily absolute: for example, the Pythagorean
theorem is a quantitative statement concerning the lengths of the
three sides of a right triangle. Still, trigonometry was mostly a
byproduct of geometry in its early stages; the two fields of
mathematics were not separated until the 16th century.
◦ And it was discovered or invented by Hipparchus.
WHAT IS TRIGONOMETRIC
IDENTITIES?
◦ Trigonometric Identities are equalities involving
trigonometry functions that hold for all values of the
variables in the equation.
◦ There are several different trigonometric identities that
involve the side length and angle of a triangle. Only the
right-angle triangle has the trigonometric identities. The six
trigonometric ratios serve as the foundation for all
trigonometric identities.
◦ Sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent are
their names. The sides of the right triangle, such as the
adjacent, opposing, and hypotenuse sides, are used to
define all of these trigonometric ratios. The six
trigonometric ratios are the source of all fundamental
trigonometric identities.
WHAT IS FUNDAMENTAL
IDENTITIES?
◦ Other trigonometric relationships are established using the fundamental trig
identities functions. We demonstrate how one side of an identification can be
simplified to validate an identity. The reverse side is identical. Each side of the coin is
controlled independently of the other equation. It's usually advisable to start with the
more difficult aspect of the identification.
EXAMPLES OF FUNDAMENTALS
IDENTITIES:
• RECIPROCAL IDENTITIES
• PHYTHAGOREAN IDENTITIES
• COFUNCTION IDENTITIES
• EVEN-ODD IDENTITIES
• QOUTIENT IDENTITIES
EXAMPLE:
Verifying the Equivalency Using the Even-Odd Identities
◦ GIVEN:
(1+sinx)[1+sin(−x)]=cos2x
◦ Solution
Working on the left side of the equation, we have
◦ (1+sinx) [1+sin(−x)] = (1+sinx) (1−sinx)
= 1− sin2x
=cos2x
◦ Since sin (−x) = −sin x
Difference of squares
cos2x = 1− sin2x
WHAT IS SUM AND DIFFERENCE OF TWO
ANGLES IDENTITIES?
◦ The cosine of the difference of two angles is the product of the angles' cosines plus
the product of the angles' sines, according to the difference formula. To obtain the
exact values of the sine, cosine, or tangent of an angle, utilize the sum and difference
formulas.
◦ These formulas can be used to calculate the cosine of sums and differences of angles
Sum of Angles Identities Difference of Angles Identities
sin(A + B) = sin A · cos B + cos A · sin B sin(A - B) = sin A · cos B - cos A · sin B
cos (A + B) = cos A · cos B - sin A · sin B Cos(A - B) = cos A · cos B + sin A · sin B
tan (A + B) =
Example:
◦ find the exact value of cos of 75° using a sum formula.
- Since 75 is the sum of 30 and 45 the cos sum formula can be used.
- cos (A + B) = cos A · cos B - sin A · sin B
- cos (30 + 45) = cos 30 · cos 45 - sin 30 · sin 45
◦ SOLUTION:
Therefore cos 75°

=
Example:
◦ find the exact value of the sine of 15° using a difference formula.
Since 15 is the difference of 45 and 30 the sine difference formula can be
used.
sin(A - B) = sin A · cos B - cos A · sin B
sin(45 - 30) = sin 45 · cos 30 - cos 45 · sin 30
◦ SOLUTION:
Therefore sin 15°
=
DOUBLE ANGLE IDENTITIES
◦ A double angle is associated with the three most common trigonometric ratios: sine (sin), cosine
(cos), and tangent (tan). The sine, cosine, and tangent ratios are functions that show the
relationship between the sides of a right triangle in relation to certain angles in the triangle.
◦ The term "double" refers to increasing the size of an angle to twice its original size. This can be
done in two ways: multiplying or adding. If angle y is 100 degrees, it is doubled to become 200
degrees. The concept of doubling the angle is similar in trigonometry.
FORMULA OF DOUBLE
ANGLE IDENTITIES:
EXAMPLE OF DOUBLE ANGLE
IDENTITIES:
◦ GIVEN:
Find all solutions to the equation sin 2x = cos x in the interval [0,2π]
◦ Solution:
Apply the double angle formula sin 2x = 2 sin x cos x
2 sin x cos x = cos x
2 sin x cos x – cos x = cos x – cos x
2 sin x cos x – cos x = 0
cos x (2 sin x – 1) = 0 Factor out cos x
Then cos x = 0 or 2 sin x – 1 = 0
cos x= 0 or 2 sin x – 1 + 1 = 0 +1
sin x = ½
sin x = ½
HALF ANGLE IDENTITIES:
◦ Trig half angle identities or functions are actually involved in trigonometric functions
with half angles. The existence of an angle in a quadrant completely determines
whether the square root of the first two functions sine and cosine is negative or
positive.
◦ Half-angle identities are true statements, or definitions, for half-angles. We have
three: one for sine, another for cosine, and another for tangent. These identities are
used to aid in the proof of other trig statements or identities, as well as in the
simplification of more complex trig problems.
FORMULA OF HALF ANGLE IDENTITIES:
EXAMPLE:
◦ Using a Half-Angle Formula to Find the Exact Value of a Sine Function. Find sin(15°)
sin⁡(15°) using a half-angle formula.
◦ Solution:
◦ Since 15 = , we use the half angle formula for sine
◦ sin =
◦ =
◦ =
◦ =
◦ =
