    Study Notes

    Trigonometric Identities

    • Pythagorean Identity: Relates the squares of sine and cosine functions, expressed as ( \sin^2(x) + \cos^2(x) = 1 ).
    • Even and Odd Functions:
      • Even: ( \cos(-x) = \cos(x) )
      • Odd: ( \sin(-x) = -\sin(x) ) and ( \tan(-x) = -\tan(x) )

    Sum and Difference Formulas

    • Used to express trigonometric functions of sums and differences of angles.
    • Sine: ( \sin(a \pm b) = \sin(a)\cos(b) \pm \cos(a)\sin(b) )
    • Cosine: ( \cos(a \pm b) = \cos(a)\cos(b) \mp \sin(a)\sin(b) )
    • Tangent: ( \tan(a \pm b) = \frac{\tan(a) \pm \tan(b)}{1 \mp \tan(a)\tan(b)} )

    Double Angle and Half Angle Formulas

    • Double Angle:
      • Sine: ( \sin(2x) = 2\sin(x)\cos(x) )
      • Cosine: ( \cos(2x) = \cos^2(x) - \sin^2(x) ) or ( 2\cos^2(x) - 1 ) or ( 1 - 2\sin^2(x) )
      • Tangent: ( \tan(2x) = \frac{2\tan(x)}{1 - \tan^2(x)} )
    • Half Angle:
      • Sine: ( \sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{1 - \cos(x)}{2}} )
      • Cosine: ( \cos\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos(x)}{2}} )
      • Tangent: ( \tan\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) = \frac{\sin(x)}{1 + \cos(x)} ) or ( \frac{1 - \cos(x)}{\sin(x)} )

    Sum-to-Product and Product-to-Sum Formulas

    • Sum-to-Product: Converts sums of sine and cosine functions into products.
      • ( \sin(a) + \sin(b) = 2\sin\left(\frac{a+b}{2}\right)\cos\left(\frac{a-b}{2}\right) )
      • ( \cos(a) + \cos(b) = 2\cos\left(\frac{a+b}{2}\right)\cos\left(\frac{a-b}{2}\right) )
    • Product-to-Sum: Converts products of sine and cosine into sums.
      • ( \sin(a)\sin(b) = \frac{1}{2}[\cos(a-b) - \cos(a+b)] )
      • ( \cos(a)\cos(b) = \frac{1}{2}[\cos(a+b) + \cos(a-b)] )
      • ( \sin(a)\cos(b) = \frac{1}{2}[\sin(a+b) + \sin(a-b)] )

    Solving Trigonometric Equations

    • Techniques include using identities, algebraic manipulations, and inverse trigonometric functions.
    • General solutions may involve periodicity, represented as ( x = x_0 + nT ) where ( T ) is the period and ( n ) is any integer.
