1
Using Fundamental Identities Objectives: 1.Recognize and write the fundamental trigonometric identities 2.Use the fundamental trigonometric identities to evaluate trigonometric functions, simplify trigonometric expressions, and rewrite trigonometric expressions
2
WHY??? Fundamental trigonometric identities can be used to simplify trigonometric expressions.
3
Fundamental Trigonometric Identities Reciprocal Identities Quotient Identities
4
Fundamental Trigonometric Identities Pythagorean Identities Even/Odd Identities
5
Fundamental Trigonometric Identities Cofunction Identities
6
Example: If and Ө is in quadrant II, find each function value. a) sec Ө To find the value of this function, look for an identity that relates tangent and secant. Tip: Use Pythagorean Identities.
7
b) sin Ө 7 c) cot ( Ө ) Example: If and Ө is in quadrant II, find each function value. (Cont.) Tip: Use Quotient Identities. Tip: Use Reciprocal and Negative-Angle Identities.
8
Use the values cos x > 0 and identities to find the values of all six trigonometric functions. What quadrant will you use? 1st quadrant Example:
12
Your Turn: Using Identities to Evaluate a Function Use the given values to evaluate the remaining trigonometric functions (You can also draw a right triangle)
13
Solution: #1
14
Solution: #2
15
Solution: #3
16
Simplify an Expression Simplify cot x cos x + sin x to a single trigonometric function.
17
Example: Simplify 1.Factor csc x out of the expression.
18
2.Use Pythagorean identities to simplify the expression in the parentheses.
19
3.Use Reciprocal identities to simplify the expression.
20
Your Turn: Simplifying a Trigonometric Expression
21
Solutions:
22
Factoring Trigonometric Expressions -Factor the same way you would factor any quadratic. - If it helps replace the “trig” word with x -Factor the same way you would factor
23
Make it an easier problem. Let a = csc x 2a 2 – 7a + 6 (2a – 3)(a – 2) Now substitute csc x for a.
24
1.Use Pythagorean identities to get one trigonometric function in the expression.
25
2.Now factor.
