cot x =

cos2 x = 1 sin2 x

sin2 x = 1 cos2 x

sin2 x 1 = cos2 x

cos2 x 1 = sin2 x

sec2 x = tan2 x + 1

tan2 x = sec2 x 1

tan2 x sec2 x = 1

1 sec2 x = tan2 x

csc2 x cot2 x = 1

csc2 x = cot2 x + 1

cot2 x = csc2 x 1

cot2 x csc2 x = 1

1 csc2 x = cot2 x

cos ( x ) = cos x

sin ( x ) = sin x

cos (x y) = ( cos x )( cos y ) + ( sin x )( sin y )

sin (x y) = ( sin x )( cos y ) ( sin y )( cos x )

cos (x + y) = ( cos x )( cos y ) ( sin x )( sin y )

sin (x + y) = ( sin x )( cos y ) + ( sin y )( cos x )

Hint: Functions are the same; signs are different

cos 2x = cos2 x sin2 x


sin 2x = 2 ( sin x )( cos x )

sin x = +
