1 7.1 – Basic Trigonometric Identities and Equations

2 Trigonometric Identities
Quotient Identities Reciprocal Identities Pythagorean Identities sin2q + cos2q = 1 tan2q + 1 = sec2q cot2q + 1 = csc2q sin2q = 1 - cos2q tan2q = sec2q - 1 cot2q = csc2q - 1 cos2q = 1 - sin2q 5.4.3

3 Do you remember the Unit Circle?
Where did our pythagorean identities come from?? 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!

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

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

6 Using the identities you now know, find the trig value.
1.) If cosθ = 3/4, find secθ 2.) If cosθ = 3/5, find cscθ.

7 3.) sinθ = -1/3, find tanθ 4.) secθ = -7/5, find sinθ

8 REMEMBER…. TO NUMBER EACH STEP WRITE CLEARLY
GO ALL THE WAY TO ONE TRIG VALUE (DON’T LEAVE TAN2X, LEAVE TANX)

9 Simplifying Trigonometric Expressions
Identities can be used to simplify trigonometric expressions. Simplify. b) a) 5.4.5

10 Simplifing Trigonometric Expressions
c) (1 + tan x)2 - 2 sin x sec x d)

11 Simplify each expression.

12 Simplifying trig Identity
Example1: simplify tanxcosx sin x cos x tanx cosx tanxcosx = sin x

13 Simplifying trig Identity
sec x csc x Example2: simplify 1 cos x 1 cos x sinx = x sec x csc x 1 sin x = sin x cos x = tan x

14 Simplifying trig Identity
cos2x - sin2x cos x Example2: simplify = sec x cos2x - sin2x cos x cos2x - sin2x 1

15 Example Simplify: = cot x (csc2 x - 1) Factor out cot x
= cot x (cot2 x) Use pythagorean identity = cot3 x Simplify

16 Example Simplify: = sin x (sin x) + cos x Use quotient identity cos x
Simplify fraction with LCD = sin2 x + (cos x) cos x = sin2 x + cos2x cos x Simplify numerator = cos x Use pythagorean identity = sec x Use reciprocal identity

17 Your Turn! Combine fraction Simplify the numerator
Use pythagorean identity Use Reciprocal Identity

18 Practice 1 cos2θ cosθ sin2θ cos2θ secθ-cosθ csc2θ cotθ tan2θ

19 One way to use identities is to simplify expressions involving trigonometric functions. Often a good strategy for doing this is to write all trig functions in terms of sines and cosines and then simplify. Let’s see an example of this: substitute using each identity simplify

20 Another way to use identities is to write one function in terms of another function. Let’s see an example of this: This expression involves both sine and cosine. The Fundamental Identity makes a connection between sine and cosine so we can use that and solve for cosine squared and substitute.

21 (E) Examples Prove tan(x) cos(x) = sin(x)

22 (E) Examples Prove tan2(x) = sin2(x) cos-2(x)

23 (E) Examples Prove
