Trigonometric Identities You already know sin2 θ + Cos2 θ ≡ 1 If you divide by Cos θ 2

2 1 → sin 2θ +1 ≡ cos2 θ cos θ

We get

tan2 θ + 1 ≡ sec2 θ

similarly, dividing by sin2 θ gives

1 + cot2 θ ≡ cos ec 2θ

These can be used to simplify expressions

Example (i)

Express 5cot θ + 2 cosec2 θ in of cot θ

(ii)

Solve the equation 5 cot θ + 2 cosec2 θ = 5 for 0 < θ < 2 π

Solution (i)

5 cot θ + 2 cosec2 ≡ 5 cot θ + 2 (1 + cot2 θ ) ≡ 5 cot θ + 2 + 2cot2 θ

(ii)

5 cot θ + 2 cosec2 θ = 5 ⇒ 5 cot θ + 2 + 2 cot2 θ = 5 ⇒ 2 cot2 θ + 5 cot θ - 3 = 0

This is a quadratic in cot θ cot θ =

−5 ± 25 − 4(2)( −3) 2x2 −5 ± 49 −5 ± 7 1 = = 2 or -3 4 4

⇒ tan θ = 2 or - 31

+ve tan ∴ 1st and 3rd quad.

-ve tan ∴ 2nd and 4th quad

Because the range of θ is given in of π we must have our Calculator in radians

θ = tan −1 2 = 1.11

θ = 1.11, π + 1.11 =1.11, 4.25

It is useful to be able to express the sum of sin x and cos x as a single sin or cos. It enables us to: - find the max/min of the expression - solve equations To find R and ∝ , we expand the right hand side and equate like . This gives R = + a 2 + b2 ← ( ALWAYS ) ∝ ∝ and values for sin and cos in of a, b and R. Example: i) Express 3sinx+2cos x in the form Rsin( x + ∝) ii) Find the max and min of the expression and find in radians to 2dp the smallest positive value of x for which they occur. iii) Solve the equation 3 sin x + 2 cos x = 1 Solution: (i)

Inverse Trig Functions For f -1(x) to exist then f ( x ) must be a one to one function. If f(x) Is not 1-to-1 over its whole domain then f −1( x ) can exist provided we restrict the domain of f (x) The functions cos x,sin x and tan x are not 1-to-1 over their whole domain. The inverse functions cos-1 x, sin-1 x and tan−1 x exist for the domains:
