Guiding question: What is a trigonometric identity?
8
Right Triangle Trigonometry Now that we know all the trig ratios, we will investigate some other trigonometric properties.
9
Mathematical Identities What is an identity? An identity is an equation that is true for any value of the variable. We have already discussed the reciprocal identities: sin x = 1. csc x cos x = 1. sec x tan x = 1. cot x
10
Tangent Identity tan x = sin x cos x
11
Tangent Identity Proof: tan x = x y sin x = x z cos x = y z sin x = cos x x ÷ y z z = x y
12
Cotangent Identity In the same manor, cot x = cos x sin x
13
Trigonometric Identities Represent each of the following in terms of sin(x) and cos(x). You may assume that each angle x is measured in degrees. sec(x)∙tan(x) cot(x)∙sin(x) cos 2 (x)∙tan(x) csc(x) cot(x)
14
Pythagorean Identities Derived from the Pythagorean theorem… sin 2 x + cos 2 x = 1
15
Pythagorean Identities Proof: By Pythagoras… x 2 + y 2 = z 2 Dividing through by z 2 … x 2 + y 2 = 1 z 2 z 2 Since sin θ = x&cos θ = y z sin 2 θ = x 2 &cos 2 θ = y 2 z 2 z 2 sin 2 θ + cos 2 θ = 1
16
Pythagorean Identities Intuitively then, cos 2 θ = 1 – sin 2 θ sin 2 θ = 1 – cos 2 θ
17
Pythagorean Identities tan 2 θ + 1 = sec 2 θ Proof: We know sin 2 θ + cos 2 θ = 1. Dividing by cos 2 θ… sin 2 θ + cos 2 θ = 1. cos 2 θ cos 2 θ cos 2 θ tan 2 θ + 1 = sec 2 θ
18
Pythagorean Identities 1 + cot 2 θ = csc 2 θ Proof: We know sin 2 θ + cos 2 θ = 1. Dividing by sin 2 θ… sin 2 θ + cos 2 θ = 1. sin 2 θ sin 2 θ sin 2 θ 1 + cot 2 θ = csc 2 θ
19
Trigonometric Identities We can use these identities to do further proofs! Show that sec 2 θ + csc 2 θ = sec 2 θ csc 2 θ. 1 + 1. cos 2 x sin 2 x Common denominator… sin 2 x + cos 2 x cos 2 x sin 2 x 1. cos 2 x sin 2 x sec 2 θ csc 2 θ
