Chapter 5 Trigonometric Identities
5.1 Fundamental Identities
Fundamental Identities • Reciprocal Identities • Quotient Identities
More Identities • Pythagorean Identities • Negative-Angle Identities
a) sec Look for an identity that relates tangent and secant. Example: If and is in quadrant II, find each function value.
b) sin c) cot () Example: If and is in quadrant II, find each function value continued
Example: Express One Function in Terms of Another • Express cot x in terms of sin x.
Example: Rewriting an Expression in Terms of Sine and Cosine • Rewrite cot tan in terms of sin and cos .
5.2 Verifying Trigonometric Identities
Hints for Verifying Identities • 1. Learn the fundamental identities given in the last section. Whenever you see either side of a fundamental identity, the other side should come to mind. Also, be aware of equivalent forms of the fundamental identities. For example is an alternative form of the identity • 2. Try to rewrite the more complicated side of the equation so that it is identical to the simpler side.
Hints for Verifying Identities continued • 3. It is sometimes helpful to express all trigonometric functions in the equation in terms of sine and cosine and them simplify the result. • 4. Usually, any factoring or indicated algebraic operations should be performed. For example, the expression can be factored as The sum of difference of two trigonometric expressions such as can be added or subtracted in the same way as any other rational expression.
Hints for Verifying Identities continued • 5. As you select substitutions, keep in mind the side you are changing, because it represents your goal. For example, to verify the identity try to think of an identity that relates tan x to cos x. In this case, since and the secant function is the best link between the two sides.
Hints for Verifying Identities continued • 6. If an expression contains 1 + sin x, multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 1 sin x would give 1 sin2x, which could be replaced with cos2x. Similar results for 1 sin x, 1 + cos x, and 1 cos x may be useful. • Remember that verifying identities is NOT the same as solving equations.
Example: Working with One Side • Prove the identity • Solution: Start with the left side.
Prove the identity Solution—start with the right side continued Example: Working with One Side • continued
Example: Working with One Side • Prove the identity • Start with the left side.
Example: Working with Both Sides • Verify that the following equation is an identity. • Solution: Since both sides appear complex, verify the identity by changing each side into a common third expression.
Example: Working with Both Sides continued • Left side: Multiply numerator and denominator by
Example: Working with Both Sides continued • Right Side: Begin by factoring. • We have shown that verifying that the given equation is an identity.
