They are related, but how? How do they differ? (Hint: Look at the value in 1a) and then look at the value in 1b) ). ________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________ * Based on the observations above, which of the following statements do you THINK are TRUE and which ones do you think are FALSE? 7) If an angle is doubled (i.e. from 45° to 90°) then the sine value of the angle is doubled, too. __________ 8) If an angle is halved (i.e. from 90° to 45°) then the cosine value of the angle is halved, too. __________ 9) 2 ∙ sin x = sin 2x __________ 10) “Double the angle” and “double the sine value” really mean the same thing. __________ 11) The equation 2cos x = cos 2x has no solutions. (Hint: test this by substituting a value for x) __________ 12) Doubling angles does NOT double their trig values. __________ Georgia Department of Education Georgia Standards of Excellence Framework Accelerated GSE Pre-Calculus • Unit 4 Mathematics Accelerated GSE Pre-Calculus Unit 4: Trigonometric Identities Richard Woods, State School Superintendent July 2015 All Rights Reserved One more thing….take a look at the following graphs. Can you identify the two equations that have been graphed? Write them on opposite sides of the “equals” sign below: ____________________ = ____________________ What are your opinions of the following questions: 13) Is the equation that you wrote on the lines above an identity? _____________________________________ 14) Does the equation above have solutions? _____________________________________________________ 15) Does the graph above change your opinion of any of the true or false statements from the previous page? __________________________________________________________ Hopefully you now know that if an angle is doubled, we know very little about what happens to its trig values. One thing we are certain of, however, is that doubling an angle does NOT double its trig values (most of the time!) Georgia Department of Education Georgia Standards of Excellence Framework Accelerated GSE Pre-Calculus • Unit 4 Mathematics Accelerated GSE Pre-Calculus Unit 4: Trigonometric Identities Richard Woods, State School Superintendent July 2015 All Rights Reserved Try this: A) Take the equation sin(𝑥 + 𝑦) = sin 𝑥 cos 𝑦 + cos 𝑥 sin 𝑦 and rewrite the identity replacing all ys with x. _______________________________________________________________________________________ B) Now, combine like terms on the left side of the equals sign and on the right side, in order to simplify what was written in A above. _______________________________________________________________________________________ C) Use the new mathematical identity you found in B above to complete the following statement (Hint: use the box of words to the right of the statement to help finish your thought): sine To find the sine value of an angle that I’ve doubled, I can… _________________________________________________________________________ cosine sum product double D) Now repeat the process of A – B above for cos(x + y) in the space below. half identity value argument Georgia Department of Education Georgia Standards of Excellence Framework Accelerated GSE Pre-Calculus • Unit 4 Mathematics Accelerated GSE Pre-Calculus Unit 4: Trigonometric Identities Richard Woods, State School Superintendent July 2015 All Rights Reserved =============================================================================== * Cosine actually has more than one double identity formula (more than the identity we discovered earlier) Example: Verify this identity (i.e. show that the expression on the left side really does equal the expression on the right side) 𝑐𝑜𝑠 2 𝑥 − 𝑠𝑖𝑛2 𝑥 = 2𝑐𝑜𝑠 2 𝑥 − 1 Example: Verify this identity (i.e. show that the expression on the left side really does equal the expression on the right side) 𝑐𝑜𝑠 2 𝑥 − 𝑠𝑖𝑛2 𝑥 = 1 − 2𝑠𝑖𝑛2 𝑥 * Earlier, you discovered that 𝒄𝒐𝒔𝟐𝒙 = 𝒄𝒐𝒔𝟐 𝒙 − 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝟐 𝒙. Use the information that you have discovered above to fill in the equations below (these are NEW identities) * cos(2x) = cos 2 x − sin2 x OR OR *cos(2x) = _____________________ * cos(2x) = ___________________ Georgia Department of Education Georgia Standards of Excellence Framework Accelerated GSE Pre-Calculus • Unit 4 Mathematics Accelerated GSE Pre-Calculus Unit 4: Trigonometric Identities Richard Woods, State School Superintendent July 2015 All Rights Reserved ==================================================================== You have written a double-angle identity for tangent already (earlier in the task). Try simplifying 𝑡𝑎𝑛2𝑥 = Step 1) tan2x = Step 2) tan2x = Step 3) tan2x = Step 4) tan2x = Step 5) tan2x = 𝑠𝑖𝑛2𝑥 𝑐𝑜𝑠2𝑥 to get the same thing. Use the clues below to help you. 𝑠𝑖𝑛2𝑥 𝑐𝑜𝑠2𝑥 𝑐𝑜𝑠 2 𝑥− 𝑠𝑖𝑛2 𝑥 (divide top and bottom by 𝑐𝑜𝑠 2 𝑥) 𝑐𝑜𝑠2 𝑥− 𝑠𝑖𝑛2 𝑥 𝑐𝑜𝑠2 𝑥 𝑐𝑜𝑠2 𝑥 𝑠𝑖𝑛2 𝑥 − 𝑐𝑜𝑠2 𝑥 𝑐𝑜𝑠2 𝑥 (simplify the numerator and split the denominator) (simplify) Georgia Department of Education Georgia Standards of Excellence Framework Accelerated GSE Pre-Calculus • Unit 4 Mathematics Accelerated GSE Pre-Calculus Unit 4: Trigonometric Identities Richard Woods, State School Superintendent July 2015 All Rights Reserved ================================================================== DERIVING HALF-ANGLE IDENTITIES To derive the half angle identities, you have to use the double angle identities that you already derived. Step 1) Pick one of the alternate forms of the cosine double angle identities: 𝑐𝑜𝑠2𝑥 = 2𝑐𝑜𝑠 2 𝑥 − 1 Step 2) Get 𝑐𝑜𝑠 2 𝑥 by itself Step 3) Now take the √ of both sides. Step 4) This version is not user-friendly for half-angles. It looks like it only works for 𝑢 regular angles. Sooo….substitute everywhere there is an x in the equation. Simplify. 2 NOW repeat the steps above using another alternate cos2x identity and simplify. (There is a tangent half-angle identity that exists but it’s not needed at this time) Georgia Department of Education Georgia Standards of Excellence Framework Accelerated GSE Pre-Calculus • Unit 4 Mathematics Accelerated GSE Pre-Calculus Unit 4: Trigonometric Identities Richard Woods, State School Superintendent July 2015 All Rights Reserved
