  1. Ch 7 – Trigonometric Identities and Equations 7.1 – Basic Trig Identities

  2. Some Vocab • Identity: a statement of equality between two expressions that is true for all values of the variable(s) • Trigonometric Identity: an identity involving trig expressions • Counterexample: an example that shows an equation is false.

  3. Prove that sin(x)tan(x) = cos(x) is not a trig identity by producing a counterexample. • You can do this by picking almost any angle measure. • Use ones that you know exact values for:  0, π/6, π/4, π/3, π/2, and π

  4. Reciprocal Identities

  5. Quotient Identities Why?

  6. Do you remember the Unit Circle? • What is the equation for the unit circle? x2 + y2 = 1 • What does x = ? What does y = ? • (in terms of trig functions) sin2θ + cos2θ = 1 Pythagorean Identity!

  7. Take the Pythagorean Identity and discover a new one! Hint: Try dividing everything by cos2θ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1 . cos2θcos2θ cos2θ tan2θ + 1 = sec2θ Quotient Identity Reciprocal Identity another Pythagorean Identity

  8. Take the Pythagorean Identity and discover a new one! Hint: Try dividing everything by sin2θ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1 . sin2θsin2θ sin2θ 1 + cot2θ = csc2θ Quotient Identity Reciprocal Identity a third Pythagorean Identity

  9. Opposite Angle Identities sometimes these are called even/odd identities

  10. Simplify each expression.

  11. Homework To no surprise, there is a change: 7.1 – Basic Trig Identities (the 1st one) Please do page 428 #44, 45, 48, 49, 50 - 51

  12. Using the identities you now know, find the trig value. If cosθ = 3/4, If cosθ = 3/5, find secθ. find cscθ.

  13. sinθ = -1/3, 180o < θ < 270o; find tanθ secθ = -7/5, π < θ < 3π/2; find sinθ
