Trigonometric Identities Lesson 1 Reciprocal, Quotient, and Pythagorean Identities Trigonometric Identity: A trigonometric identity that is true for all permissible values of the variable in the expression on both sides of the equation. Reciprocal Identities csc x 1 sin x sec x 1 cos x cot x cos x sin x cot x 1 tan x Quotient Identities tan x sin x cos x Verify a Potential Identity Numerically and Graphically Ex. Given sec tan : sin a) Determine the non-permissible values (NPV’s) of in degrees. b) Numerically verify that 60 and are solutions of the equation. 4 c) Use technology to graphically decide whether the equation could be an identity over the domain 360 360 . What do you notice? Use Identities to Simplify Expressions Ex. Given cot x : csc x cos x a) Determine the NPV’s of x in radians. b) Simplify the expression. Pythagorean Identity Before we start on the Pythagorean Identities, let’s consider the following. A right triangle is drawn within the unit circle ( r 1 ). A point with coordinates (m, n) is on the circle. From the above, we obtain one of the Pythagorean Identities: ... plus its equivalencies: Using a similar idea, we have two other Identities: sin2 A + cos2 A = 1 and 1 + tan2 A = sec2 A 1 + cot2 A = csc2 A Ex. a) Verify that the equation cot 2 x 1 csc2 x is true when x . 6 b) Use quotient identities to express the Pythagorean identity cos 2 x sin 2 x 1 as the equivalent identity cot 2 x 1 csc2 x . Trigonometric Identities Lesson 2 Sum, Difference, and Double-Angle Identities Sum Identities: sin(A+B) = sinAcosB + cosAsinB cos(A+B) = cosAcosB - sinAsinB **NOTE: sin A B sin A sin B Difference Identities: sin(A-B) = sinAcosB - cosAsinB cos(A-B) = cosAcosB + sinAsinB Question: What if A and B have the same measure? sin (A + A) cos (A + A) Double-Angles Identities: sin 2A = 2sinAcosA cos 2A = cos 2 A - sin 2 A Ex. Write each expression as a single trigonometric function. a) sin48cos17 - cos48sin17 b) cos 2 - sin 2 6 6 Ex. Determine an identity for cos 2A that contains only the cosine ratio. Ex. Determine an identity for cos 2A that contains only the sine ratio. Ex. Consider the expression 1 cos 2 x . sin 2 x a) What are the NPV’s for the expression? b) Simplify the expression to one of the three primary trigonometric functions. c) Verify your answer from part b), for the interval 0 x 2 , using technology. Ex. Determine the exact value for each expression. 12 a) sin b) tan105 Trigonometric Identities Lesson 3 Proving Identities To prove that an identity is true for all permissible values, it is necessary to express both sides of the identity in equivalent forms. Ex. (Verify vs. Prove) a) Verify that 1 sin x sin x cos x cot x for some values of x. Determine the NPV’s of x. 2 b) Prove that 1 sin x sin x cos x cot x for all permissible values of x. 2 Ex. Prove that tan x 1 cos 2 x is an identity for all permissible values of x. sin 2 x We use our Trigonometric Identities to prove any given identity! Here are some additional strategies: 1. Manipulate the more complicated side. 2. Rewrite all trig ratios into sin and cos only. 3. Multiply the numerator & denominator by the conjugate of an expression. 4. Factor to simplify expressions. **NOTE: Work on the Left Side (LS) and the Right Side (RS) separately ... ... no cross multiplying! Ex. Prove that 1 cos x sin x is an identity for all permissible values of x. sin x 1 cos x Ex. Prove that cot x csc x cos 2 x cos x is an identity for all permissible values of x. sin 2 x sin x Trigonometric Identities Lesson 4 Solving Trigonometric Equations Using Identities With the identities, we are able to solve more trigonometric equations. ANSWER(S) FOR NON-PERMISSABLE VALUES (NPVs)! Ex. Solve each equation algebraically over the domain 0 x 2 . a) cos 2x 1 cos x 0 b) 1 cos 2 x 3sin x 2 ALWAYS CHECK YOUR Ex. a) Solve the equation cos x cot x sin x algebraically in the domain 0 x 360 . 2 b) Verify your answer graphically. Ex. Solve the equation sin 2 x 2 cos x algebraically. Give the general solution (in radians). Ex. Algebraically solve 2sin x 7 3csc x . Give general solutions expressed in radians.
