  1. 5.1 Using the Fundamental Identities

  2. 4 Main Goals: • Evaluate Trig Functions • Simplify Trig Expressions • Develop Additional Trig Identities • Solve Trig Equations

  3. Fundamental Trig Identities (page 354) Reciprocal Identities

  4. Fundamental Trig Identities (page 354) Quotient Identities

  5. Fundamental Trig Identities (page 354) Pythagorean Identities

  6. Fundamental Trig Identities (page 354) Cofunction Identities

  7. Fundamental Trig Identities (page 354) Even/Odd Identities

  8. Using the identities • Use the values and Tan θ > 0 to find the values of all 6 functions.

  9. Using the identities • Use the values and Tan θ > 0 to find the values of all 6 functions.

  10. Using the identities • Csc x = 4; Cos x < 0

  11. Using the identities • Csc x = 4; Cos x < 0

  12. Using the Identities • Tan θ is undefined, Sin θ > 0 Tan θ is undefined → Cos θ = 0

  13. Using the Identities • Tan θ is undefined, Sin θ > 0 Sin θ = 1 Cos θ = 0 Tan θ is undef. Sec θ = Cot θ = 0 Cscθ = undef. 1

  14. Using the identities

  15. Simplifying Trig Expressions • To simplify a trig expression means to reduce it to simplest term • This typically means reducing a larger expression to 1 trig function • Never want any fractions in our answer (reciprocal identities)

  16. Simplify the following expression:

  17. Simplify the following expression:

  18. Simplify the following expression:

  22. Homework Even Answers

  23. Match the expressions to one of the following:

  24. Keep in mind: • As we continue through the chapter, the problems with increase in difficulty • Always try to use the identities when possible • Last Resort is to convert all to sines and cosines • A common mistake is starting all problems by converting all to sines and cosines. Do this last!

  25. 5.1 Using the Fundamental Identities

  26. Factoring • So far, all the problems we have done have involved using the identities • Now, your first step should be to look to factor, then try to use the identities • What do you know how to factor?

  27. Factoring • Factor out a term Sin x Cos² - Sin x Sin x (Cos²x – 1) • Factor a trinomial Sin²x - 5Sin x + 6 (Sin x – 2) (Sin x – 3) • Factor special polynomials Sin³x - Sin²x – Sin x + 1 (Sin²x – 1) (Sin x - 1)

  28. Simplify the following • Sin x Cos²x – Sin x Can we factor? Sin x (Cos²x – 1) Sin x (Sin²x) Sin³ x

  29. Simplify the following

  30. Simplify the following If you get stuck, let x = Tan x 4x² + x - 3 = (2x + 3) (x – 1)

  31. Simplify the following

  32. Simplify the following
