    Study Notes

    Solving Inequalities

    • Various methods are used to solve inequalities, including algebraic manipulation and graphical analysis.
    • Key steps often involve isolating the variable, squaring both sides (with caution), and adding/subtracting constants. Example usage of these methods will vary depending on the specific type of inequality, such as linear or quadratic inequalities, or inequalities containing square roots.
    • Solving inequalities containing square roots requires isolating the square root. Then, both sides are squared, and the final solution is checked for extraneous solutions.

    Trigonometric Identities

    • Reciprocal identities: sin x / cos x = tan x, 1/cos x = sec x, 1/sin x = csc x, 1/tan x = cot x
    • Pythagorean identities: sin² x + cos² x = 1
    • Other identities include: cot x = 1/tan x, sec x = 1/cos x, csc x = 1/sin x
