MA 15400 Lesson 3 Section 6.2Trigonometric Function of AnglesThe Fundamental Identities:(1) The reciprocal identities:csc1sinsec1coscot1tan(2) The tangent and cotangent identities:tansincoscotcossin(3) The Pythagorean identities:sin2 cos21 1 tan2sec21 cot2csc2The reciprocal identities are obvious from the definitions of the six trigonometric functions.Take the simple right triangle with sides 3, 4 and 5 with opposite the side of length 3.To prove the tangent identity, examine the following. The cotangent identity proof is similar.Find sin and cos, now find sin2 cos2sin2 cos21 is a Pythagorean identity since it is derived from the Pythagorean Theorem.2 22 22 22 23 4sin cos5 5(sin ) (cos ) ?sin cos ?3 4?5 59 16?25 2525125sin cos 1q qq qq qq q= =+ =+ =� � � �+ =� � � �� � � �+ ==\ + =sintancosoppopp opp hyphypadjadj hyp adjhypqqq= = � = =345θ3 4 3sin cos tan5 5 43sin 3 5 354cos 5 4 45sintancosq q qqqqqq= = == = � =\ =MA 15400 Lesson 3 Section 6.2Trigonometric Function of AnglesDivide both sides by sin2to find another Pythagorean identity.The third Pythagorean identity can by found by dividing by cos2.Each of the three Pythagorean identities creates two more identities by subtracting a term from the left side to the right side. Verify the identity by transforming the left side into the right side.tancot1sin 3 cot 3 cos 3 sectancscsin2 cos2sin21 cot2(1 cos)(1 cos) sin2cos2sec2 1 sin22 2 2 2 2 22 2 2 2 2 22 2 2 2 2 2sin cos 1 1 tan sec 1 cot cscsin 1 cos tan sec 1 cot csc 1cos 1 sin 1 sec tan 1 csc cotq q q q q qq q q q q qq q q q q q+ = + = + == - = - = -= - = - = -2 2 22 22 2 2222 2sin cos 1 Divide each side by sinsin cos 1sin sin sincos1 cscsin1 cot cscq q qq qq q qqqqq q+ =+ =� �+ =� �� �\ + =MA 15400 Lesson 3 Section 6.2Trigonometric Function of Angles1 sin2 1 tan2 1cot tancscsecMA 15400 Lesson 3 Section 6.2Trigonometric Function of AnglesUsing the coordinate system, Notice that the adjacent side corresponds to the x-value of the coordinate and the opposite side corresponds the y-value of the coordinate. The idea that the cosine of corresponds to the x-axis and the sine of corresponds to the y-axis is one that you need to get used to. This is not saying thatsin θ = the y value nor that cos θ = the x value. Itsimply says there is a correspondence.
