Topics in Trigonometric Identities
Trigonometric Ratios - Quick Recap
- Trigonometric ratios are defined for acute angles in a right triangle
- There are six basic trigonometric ratios: sin, cos, tan, cosec, sec, cot
- Each ratio has a reciprocal relationship with another ratio
Fundamental Trigonometric Identities
- There are three fundamental identities that must be memorized
- These identities are true for all values of θ (where defined)
- They can be used to prove other trigonometric identities
Proof of Fundamental Identities
- All three identities can be proved using Pythagoras theorem
- The first identity is proved directly from the right triangle
- The second and third identities can be proved using the first identity
Applications and Problem Solving
- Identities are used to simplify trigonometric expressions
- They help in solving trigonometric equations
- Can be used to find unknown trigonometric ratios
