  1. Lesson 5.1Using Trig Identities

  2. The textbook calls the following the Fundamental Trig Identities • They are down the left side of your “Trig Cheat Sheet” • You will want to memorize as many as you can. • Recognizing them within an equation will become important.

  3. Cofunction Identities These derive from a right triangle With one angle 900 the other 2 angles must be complementary Labeling the sides and setting up the 6 trig functions will show you the cofunction identities. u c a 900 - u b

  4. Cofunction Identities Use the Unit Circle and ask the question: “Would the value change if I plugged in the opposite value”

  5. Biggest challenge is to know what to use when!

  6. Example Verify the following:

  7. Example Rewrite so it is not a fraction:

  8. Example Verify the following: Problem Set 5.1
