    Lesson 1: Fundamental Identities

    Mathematical identities are two equated expressions that are equivalent in meaning and may be
    substituted for the other without losing the truth of a statement. For instance, 2+5=7 and 3+4 =7 so
    we can say that 2+5=3+4. In trigonometric identities, we will work with expressions that can make
    a difficult problem easier to work with and remain equivalent.

    Reciprocal Identities

    csc 𝜃𝜃 = sec 𝜃𝜃 = cot 𝜃𝜃 =

    sin 𝜃𝜃 = cos 𝜃𝜃 = tan 𝜃𝜃 =

    Quotient Identities

    tan 𝜃𝜃 = cot 𝜃𝜃 =

    Pythagorean Identities

    EX #1: If you know the basic identity, it’s easy to derive the others.

    EX #2: Use a quotient identity to simplify and rewrite.

    A. cos 𝛽𝛽 tan 𝛽𝛽 B. sec 𝑥𝑥 cot 𝑥𝑥 sin 𝑥𝑥

    EX #3: Use the idea of “decomposing” fractions to simplify and rewrite.

    Technique:
    1. Consider any domain restrictions.
    2. Change everything to sine & cosine.
    3. Multiply both sides by sin 𝑥𝑥 to clear fraction.
    4. Factor.
    5. Simplify using Pythagorean Identity.
    6. Solve using the unit circle:

    Even, Odd and Co-Functions

    Co-functions are complements of some trig function. Namely, angles that are
    complements add to 90 degrees and have the same trig ratios.

    Co-Function Identities

    𝜋𝜋 𝜋𝜋
    sin − 𝜃𝜃 = cos − 𝜃𝜃 =
    2 2

    𝜋𝜋 𝜋𝜋
    sec − 𝜃𝜃 = csc − 𝜃𝜃 =
    2 2

    𝜋𝜋 𝜋𝜋
    tan − 𝜃𝜃 = cot − 𝜃𝜃 =

    EX #9: Use Co-function identities to find the following:

    1 𝜋𝜋 𝜋𝜋
    A. If sin 𝜃𝜃 = − , find cos − 𝜃𝜃 B. If cos 𝜃𝜃 = 0.38 , find sin 𝜃𝜃 −
