What is a trigonometric identity? • A trigonometric identity is a trigonometric equation that is valid for all values of the variables for which the expression is defined. • In this unit, you will be manipulating expressions to make them equal something • When simplifying, you won’t know the answer • When verifying, you have the answer and your job is to manipulate one side of an equation to make it look like the other side
Unit 3: Trig Identities • You will now make a booklet with all the identities you are required to learn for this unit. • PLEASE PAY ATTENTION as we fold our booklets • On the FRONT COVER, write the title of the unit and YOUR NAME! • Do NOT lose your booklet! • Look for this symbol so you know when to write in your booklet Booklet
Booklet pg 1 Reciprocal Identities Also work with powers…
Booklet pg 2 Quotient Identities
Booklet pgs 3-4 Pythagorean Identities ONLY WORK IN THIS FORMAT!
Booklet pg 5 Sum and Difference Identities
Booklet pg 6 Double-Angle Identities sin (2x) = 2sin x cos x cos(2x) = cos2x - sin2x = 2cos2x – 1 = 1 - 2sin2x
Booklet (back cover) Problem Solving Strategies • Convert everything to sines and cosines • Add fractions (find an LCD) • Create a monomial denominator • Split numerator • Factor if possible • When verifying, work on ONE side only – always pick the more complicated side to transform • Always try SOMETHING! It may not be the right thing but it’s better than nothing!
Example 1: Simplify sin x cot x Substitute using the quotient property. Simplify. Done!
Example 2: Simplify Use the reciprocal and quotient properties to make fractions. Cancel the sines and cosines. Done!
Example 3: Simplify:
Ticket out the Door • Turn in on your way out. TRY SOMETHING! Do NOT turn in a blank paper! • Complete the homework sheet (matching)
