    This document discusses trigonometric identities. It begins by deriving the identities tan θ = sinθ/cosθ and sin^2θ + cos^2θ = 1 using right triangles. It then provides examples of using these identities to simplify trigonometric expressions and prove more complex identities. The document concludes with practice problems for students to work through.

    TRIGONOMETRIC IDENTITIES
    Learning Outcomes and Assessment Standards
    Learning Outcome 3: Space, shape and measurement
    Assessment Standard
    Derive and use the following identities:
    tan =_
    sin

    cos
    sin2 + cos2 = 1

    Overview
    In this lesson you will:

    Use x, y and r to derive the above two identities.


    Use the above identities to simplify trigonometric expressions.
    Use the above identities to prove more complicated trigonometric
    identities.

    Lesson
    To simplify or prove trig expressions or identities, we need to change everything
    to sin and/or cos .
    y
    1.
    tan = _

    x
    _y
    sin _
    _
    =_xr
    and cos

    r

    y
    = _r _xr

    = _x

    sin

    so tan = _
    cos

    2.

    The magic ONE of trigonometry

    By Pythagoras

    r2

    r
    r
    y
    but _x = cos and _ = sin

    so

    Very important: sin2 = 1 cos2


    cos2 = 1 sin2

    x2 + y2 = r2
    y2 r2
    x2 _
    _
    + 2 = _

    cos2 + sin2 = 1

    Solution
    When we prove an identity we have to show that what is on the LHS is exactly
    what is written on the RHS. So sometimes we need to simplify both to show
    this. Remember to keep the sides separate.
