Enabling Activity:
1. In a long bond paper, make a list of all the formulas discussed in this lesson. It should be
handwritten.
Discussion:
Reciprocal Identities
Quotient Identities
Pythagorean Identities
sin²𝜃 + cos²𝜃 = 1
1+ tan²𝜃 = sec²𝜃
1+ cot²𝜃 = csc²𝜃
The complementary angle theorem says that cofunctions of complimentary angles are equal.
How can we use these identities to find exact values of trigonometric functions?
Example 1
Solution:
Example 2
𝑠𝑖𝑛 45°
𝑡𝑎𝑛 45° −
𝑐𝑜𝑠 45°
Solution:
𝑠𝑖𝑛 45°
Since 𝑡𝑎𝑛 45° = 𝑐𝑜𝑠 45°, therefore, tan 45° − tan 45° = 0.
