    Trigonometric Formulas
    Trigonometry is quite an interesting subject. Some of the basic in trigonometry which
    need to be remember is

    Basic Formula

    tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x)

    cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x)

    Reciprocal Identities:

    csc(x) = 1/sin(x)

    sec(x) = 1/cos(x)

    cot(x) = 1/tan(x)

    sin(x) = 1/csc(x)

    cos(x) = 1/sec(x)

    tan(x) = 1/cot(x)

    Pythagorean Identities:

    sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1

    cot2A +1 = csc2A

    1+tan2A = sec2A

    Sum and Difference Formulas/Identities


    Sin and cos function

    1. cos(A+B) =cos(A)cos(B)-sin(A)sin(B)
    2. cos(A-B) =cos(A)cos(B)+sin(A)sin(B)
    3. cos (π/2π/2 -A) =sin(A)
    4. sin (π/2π/2 -A) =cos(A)
    5. sin(A+B) =sin(A)cos(B)+sin(B)cos(A)
    6. sin(A-B) =sin(A)cos(B)-sin(B)cos(A)

    Tan and cot functions

    If none of the angles x, y and (x + y) is an odd multiple of π/2π/2

    If none of the angles x, y and (x + y) is a multiple of π/2π/2

    Some basics Tips to solve the trigonometry questions

    1) Always try to bring the multiple angles to single angles using basic formula and make
    sure all your angles are the same. Using sin(2X) and sin X is difficult, but if you use sin2X
    = 2sin(x)cos(x), that leaves sin(x) and cos(x), and now all your functions match. The same
    goes for addition and subtraction: don’t try working with sin(X+Y) and sin X. Instead, use
    sin(X+Y) = sin(x)cos(y)+cos(x)sin(y) so that all the angles match

    2) Converting to sin and cos all the items in the problem using basic formula. I have
    mentioned sin and cos as they are easy to solve. You can use any other also.

    3)Check all the angles for sums and differences and use the appropriate identities to
    remove them.

    4) Use Pythagorean identifies to simplify the equations

    5) Practice and Practice. You will soon start figuring out the equation and their
    symmetry to resolve them fast
