sin x = cos x = tan x = tan x =

csc x = = sec = = cot x = = cot x =

cos2 x + sin2 x = 1 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 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 )(

Hint: Functions are the same; signs are different Hint: Signs are same, functions are different

cos 2x = cos2 x – sin2 x or cos 2x = 2 cos2 x – 1 or cos 2x = 1 – 2 sin2 x

sin 2x = 2 ( sin x )( cos x ) tan 2x = 2 tan x .
