Examples:
pi/6 corresponds to the angle t and to point P on the circle. -pi/2 corresponds to the angle u and to point Q on the circle.
The x-coordinate of P is called the cosine of t. We write cos(t). The y-coordinate of P is called the sine of t. We write sin(t). The number sin(t)/cos(t) is called the tangent of t. We write tan(t). The number cos(t)/sin(t) is called the cotangent of t. We write cot(t). The number 1/cos(t) is called the secant of t. We write sec(t) The number 1/sin(t) is called the cosecant of t. We write csc(t) or cosec(t)
The line with equation sin(t).x - cos(t).y = 0 contains the origin and point P(cos(t),sin(t)). So this line is OP. On this line we take the intersection point S(1,?) with the line x = 1.
In an analogous manner we find that cotan(t) is the x-coordinate of the intersection point S' of the line OP with the line y = 1.
Basic formulas
With t radians corresponds exactly one point P(cos(t),sin(t)) on the unit circle. The square of the distance [OP] = 1. Calculating |OP|2, using the coordinates of P, we find for each t :
cos2(t) + sin2(t) = 1 sin2(t) 1 + tan2(t) = 1 + ---------cos2(t) cos2(t)+sin2(t) = ----------------cos2(t) 1 = ----------- = sec2(t) cos2(t) In the same way : 1 + cotan2(t) = 1/ sin2(t) = csc2(t) cos2(t) + sin2(t) = 1 1 + tan2(t) = sec2(t) 1 + cot2(t) = csc2(t)
Usage examples:
Usage examples:
sin(t + pi/2) = sin(pi/2 - t) tan(2t + 0.2) = - tan(pi -0.2 - 2t) - tan(pi -t) = tan(t)
complementary values
t and t' are complementary values <=> t+t' = pi/2. The corresponding image points on a unit circle are symmetric with respect to the line y = x . Hence, we have : If t and t' are complementary values then
Usage examples:
tan(pi/4 +3t) = cot(pi/4 -3t) cos(3pi/2 -t) = sin( t - pi) = sin(-t + 2pi) = sin(-t) cot(3x - pi/2) = tan(-3x + pi ) = - tan(3x)
Opposite values
t and t' are opposite values <=> t+t' = 0. Now, the corresponding image points are symmetric with respect to the x-axis. Hence, we have : If t and t' are opposite values then
sin(t) = -sin(-t) cos(t) = cos(-t)
Usage examples:
cos(-pi/2 + x) = cos(pi/2 - x) = sin (x) sin(6x - pi) = - sin(pi - 6x) = - sin(6x) cot(-x + 4pi) = cot(-x) = - cot(x)
Anti-supplementary values
t and t' are anti-supplementary values <=> t-t' = pi. The corresponding image points are symmetric with respect to the origin O . Hence, we have : If t and t' are anti-supplementary values then
sin(t) = -sin(t') cos(t) = -cos(t') tan(t) = cot(t) = tan(t') cot(t')
Usage examples:
tan(5a + 3pi) = tan(5a + pi) = tan(5a) cot(t/2 + pi/2) = cot(t/2 - pi/2) = - cot(pi/2 - t/2) = - tan(t/2) sin(x + 3 pi) + sin(x) = -sin(x) + sin(x) = 0
b =>
sin(B) = b/a
and since the angles B and C are complementary angles cos(C) = b/a sin(C) = c/a tan(C) = c/b
Area of a triangle
The area of the triangle is a.h/2 . But in triangle BAH, we have sin(B) = h/c . Hence the area of the triangle is a.c.sin(B) /2. Similarly, we have that the area of the triangle = b.c.sin(A) /2 = a.b.sin(C) /2 The area of a triangle ABC =(1/2) a.c.sin(B) = (1/2) b.c.sin(A) = (1/2) a.b.sin(C)
You can also use Heron's formula to calculate the area of a triangle.
Sine rule
The area of a triangle ABC = a.c.sin(B)/2 = => a.c.sin(B) = b.c.sin(A) = a.b.sin(C) b.c.sin(A)/2 = a.b.sin(C)/2
This formula is called the sine rule in a triangle ABC. Let R be the radius of the circle with center O through the points A,B and C. Let B' be the second intersection point of BO with the circle. The angle B' in triangle BB'C is equal to, or supplementary with, A. In the right-angled triangle BB'C we see that a = 2R sin(B') = 2R sin(A). Thus, the fractions in the sinus rule are all equal to 2R. In any triangle ABC we have
a ------ = sin(A) b c ------ = ------ = 2R sin(B) sin(C)
Homogeneous expression in a, b and c Note: A relation is called homogeneous in a, b and c if and only if this relation remains valid when we replace a, b and c by a multiple r.a, r.b and r.c (r not 0). If an expression between the sides of a triangle is homogeneous in a, b and c, we obtain an equivalent expression by replacing a,b and c by sin(A), sin(B) and sin(C). Example: In a triangle
b.sin(A-C) = 3.c.cos(A+C) sin(B).sin(A-C) = 3.sin(C).cos(A+C)

Cosine rule
Proof: We'll prove that a2 = b2 + c2 - 2 b c cos(A) If the angle A is a right angle, then the proof is obvious. Now, suppose the angle A is an acute angle.
(*)
(**)
From

The proof proceeds in the same manner as above. Draw a new picture and work this out as an exercise. This cosine rule can also be proved using the dot product of vectors. See Proof cosine rule
Special values
pi/3
Let V be the image point corresponding with the angle pi/3 on the unit circle and let E the intersection point of that circle with the positive X-axis. The triangle 'OVE' is equilateral. Hence cos(pi/3) = 1/2.
sin2 (pi/3) = sqrt( 1 - cos2 (pi/3)) = sqrt(3)/2 So, sin(pi/3) = sqrt(3)/2 and cos(pi/3) = tan(pi/3) = sqrt(3) 1/2.
pi/4
Let V be the image point corresponding with the angle pi/4 on the unit circle. From this, it is obvious that cos(pi/4) = sin(pi/4) and tan(pi/4) = 1.
cos2(pi/4)+sin2(pi/4) = 1 So, cos (pi/4) = tan(pi/4) = 1 => 2cos2(pi/4) = 1 => cos (pi/4) = sqrt(1/2)
sin(pi/4) = sqrt(1/2)
pi/6
From properties for complementary angles we have: cos (pi/6) = sqrt(3)/2 and sin(pi/6) = 1/2. tan(pi/6) = 1/sqrt(3).
Solving Triangles
Case SSS
Three sides. Substitute all the sides in de Cosine Rule to compute the angles. Example: a=4 b=5 c=7
Test : A + B + C = ...
Case SAS
Two sides and an included angle. Use the Cosine Rule. Example: b=5 c=7 A=34.05 From the Cosine Rule
a2 = 25 + 49 - 70 cos(34.05) => a = 4
The other two formulas of the cosine rule give 40 = 56 cos(B) -8 = 40 cos(C)
B = 44.41 C = 101.53
Test : A + B + C = ...
Case SSA
Two sides and a non-included angle. Draw a figure. There are three cases. 1) no solutions 2) one solution 3) two solutions 1. A=60 b=5 a=1 From a figure we see that there are no solutions. 2. A=60 b=5 a=7 From a figure we see that there is one solution. We use the Sine Rule.
7 5 c --------- = -------- = --------sin(60) sin(B) sin(C)
So, sin(B)= 0.6186 and this gives us two supplementary solutions for B. But from our figure, we know what value to choose. B = 38.21. Then C = 180 - 38.21 - 60 = 81.79 and c = 8 3. A=60 b=5 a=4.5 From a figure we see that there are two solutions for B. We use the Sine Rule.
4.5 5 c --------- = -------- = --------sin(60) sin(B) sin(C)
So, sin(B)= 0.96225 and this gives us two supplementary solutions for B. B = 74.2 of 105.8 First choose B = 74.2 and first compute C and then c with the Sine Rule. Then choose B = 105.8 and first compute C and then c with the Sine Rule. Check the results using your figure.

y = sin(x+5) The graph of this function comes about by moving the graph of sin(x) five units to the left. The period does not change. Example 3 y = tan(x)+5 The graph of this function is obtained by moving the graph of tan(x) five units upwards. The period does not change. Example 4 We start with y = tan(x). We compress the graph towards the y-axis with a factor 3. The new function is y = tan(3x). We move the graph two units to the right. The new function is y = tan(3(x-2)) . Finally, we move the last graph two units downwards. We obtain y = tan(3x -6)-2. The period is pi/3. Generalization: The period of A sin(a x + b ) is 2 pi/|a| The period of A cos(a x + b ) is 2 pi/|a| The period of A tan(a x + b ) is pi/|a| The period of A cot(a x + b ) is pi/|a| The period of A / sin(a x + b ) is 2 pi/|a| The period of A / cos(a x + b ) is 2 pi/|a| The period of A / tan(a x + b ) is pi/|a| The period of A / cot(a x + b ) is pi/|a|
sin(x) has 2pi as period and cos(pi x) has 2 as period. There are no strictly positive integers m and n such that m.(2pi) = n.(2). So, sin(x) + cos(pi x) has NO period!
No period
The inverse trigonometric functions have no period!
Transformations
As with the trigonometric functions, we can create related functions using simple transformations. y = 2.arcsin(x-1) comes about by moving the graph of arcsin(x) one unit to the right, and then by multiplying all the images by two. The domain is [0,2] and the range is [-pi,pi].
Sum formulas
cos(u - v)
We prove this formula using the concept of dot product of two vectors. (See theory about vectors) With u corresponds one point P(cos(u),sin(u)) on the unit circle With v corresponds one point Q(cos(v),sin(v)) on the unit circle The angle, corresponding with the arc QP on the circle, has a value u - v . The dot product P.Q = 1.1.cos(u-v) . But using the coordinates we also have P.Q = cos(u).cos(v)+sin(u).sin(v). Hence, cos(u-v) = cos(u).cos(v)+sin(u).sin(v)
Example:
cos(pi/3-2x) = cos(pi/3)cos(2x) + sin(pi/3)sin(2x) = 0.5 cos(2x) + 0.5 sqrt(3) sin(2x)
cos(u + v)
cos(u + v) = cos(u - (-v)) = cos(u).cos(-v)+sin(u).sin(-v) cos(u + v) = cos(u).cos(v)-sin(u).sin(v)
Example:
cos(x + x/2) + cos(x - x/2) = cos(x)cos(x/2) + sin(x)sin(x/2) + cos(x)cos(x/2) - sin(x)sin(x/2) = 2 cos(x)cos(x/2)
sin(u - v)
sin(u - v) = cos(pi/2-(u-v)) = cos( (pi/2-u) +v ) = cos(pi/2 - u).cos(v)-sin(pi/2 - u).sin(v) sin(u - v) = sin(u).cos(v)-cos(u).sin(v)
Example:
sin(x - pi/4) = sin(x) cos(pi/4) - cos(x) sin(pi/4) = (sin(x)cos(x))/sqrt(2)
sin(u + v)
sin(u + v) = cos(pi/2-(u+v)) = cos( (pi/2-u) -v ) = cos(pi/2 - u).cos(v)+sin(pi/2 - u).sin(v) sin(u + v) = sin(u).cos(v)+cos(u).sin(v)
tan(u + v)
sin(u + v) sin(u).cos(v)+cos(u).sin(v) tan(u+v) = ------------ = --------------------------cos(u + v) cos(u).cos(v)-sin(u).sin(v)
Example:
tan(u) + tan(pi/4) tan(u) + 1 1 + tan(u) tan(u+pi/4) = -------------------- = -------------- = ------------1 - tan(u).tan(pi/4) 1 - tan(u) 1 - tan(u)
tan(u - v)
In the same way, we have
tan(u) - tan(v) tan(u-v) = ----------------1 + tan(u).tan(v)
sin(2u)
sin(2u) = sin(u + u) = sin(u).cos(u)+cos(u).sin(u) = 2sin(u).cos(u) sin(2u) = 2sin(u).cos(u)
Examples
sin(x) = 2 sin(x/2).cos(x/2) sin(4x) = 2 sin(2x).cos(2x) = 4 sin(x) cos(x) cos(2x) 12 sin(8x) cos(8x) = 6 sin(16x)
cos(2u)
cos(2u) = cos(u+u) = cos(u).cos(u)-sin(u).sin(u) = cos2 (u) - sin2 (u) cos(2u) = cos2 (u) - sin2 (u)
tan(2u)
tan(u) + tan(u) -----------------1 - tan(u).tan(u) 2 tan(u) ----------1- tan2(u) 2 tan(u) --------------1- tan(u)tan(u)
tan(2u) =
tan(2u)
Example:
1 cot(2x) = -------tan(2x) 1 - tan2(x) = ------------2 tan(x)
Carnot formulas
1 + cos(2u) = 1 - cos(2u) = 1+cos2 (u)-sin2 (u) = 1-cos2 (u)+sin2 (u) = 2 cos2 (u) 2 sin2 (u)
Applications:
From the carnot formulas, it follows that : The period of cos(2u) = the period of cos2 (u) = the period of sin2 (u) Factorize the expression 1 + 2 cos(x) + cos(2x)
1 + 2 cos(x) + cos(2x) = = = = = 2 cos(x) + ( 1 + cos(2x)) 2 cos(x) + 2 cos2 (x) 2 cos(x) (1 + cos(x)) 2 cos(x) 2 cos2 (x/2) 4 cos(x) cos2 (x/2)
Since 2 pi is the period of (1 + 2 cos(x) + cos(2x)), it follows that the period of cos(x) cos2 (x/2) is 2pi.
Find the period of tan2(4x) The period of tan2(4x) is equal to the period of 1+tan2(4x). The period of 1+tan2(4x) is equal to the period of 1/ cos2(4x). The period of 1/ cos2(4x) is equal to the period of cos2(4x). The period of cos2(4x) is equal to the period of 0.5(1+cos(8x)). The period of 0.5(1+cos(8x)) is equal to the period of cos(8x). And this period is pi/4.
In triangle ABC the sides a, b, c are such that 3a = 7c en 3b = 8c. Find tan2(A/2) without calculating A or A/2. Solution: About the three edges we know :
a b c --- = --- = --7 8 3 Since similar triangles have the same angles, we can use
a = 7 , b = 8 and c = 3 as edges of the triangle. From the cosine rule we can write b2 + c2 - a2 cos(A) = ------------------ = 1/2 2 b c Now we use the Carnot formulas 1 - cos(A) 2 sin2(A/2) ---------- = -------------- = tan2(A/2) = 1/3 1 + cos(A) 2 cos2(A/2)
t-formulas
From the Carnot formulas we have
cos(2u) = 2 cos2(u) -1
1 + t2 tan(2u) = 2t ------1 - t2 ;
Simpson formulas
We know that
cos(u cos(u sin(u sin(u + + v) = cos(u).cos(v)-sin(u).sin(v) v) = cos(u).cos(v)+sin(u).sin(v) v) = sin(u).cos(v)+cos(u).sin(v) v) = sin(u).cos(v)-cos(u).sin(v)

The period of cos(4x).cos(x/2) is equal to the period of cos(9x/2) + cos(7x/2) and this period is 4pi
Trigonometric equations

Example 3
cos(x) = -1/3 <=> cos(x) = cos(1.91) <=> x = 1.91 +2.k.pi or x = -1.91 - 2.k.pi
Example 4

But cot( x + pi/2) does not exist for x = pi/2 + k.pi !!!!!
So, tan(2x) . cot( x + pi/2) = 1 has no solutions ! The expression " on condition that ...." is not redundant!

Homogeneous equations
An equation is homogeneous in a and b if and only if we obtain an equivalent equation when we replace a and b by ra and rb (r is not 0). Example: a3 x2 +5 a.b2 x +3 a2.b = 0 is an equation in x which is homogeneous in a en b. Now, we have in view the equations which are homogeneous in sin(u) and cos(u). Procedure 1. Reduce the equation to the form F = 0. If possible, use factorization to the left hand side and solve the simple parts. 2. Divide the remaining equation through by a suitable power of cos(u), such that tan(u) appears everywhere. 3. Let t = tan(u) and solve the algebraic equation. 4. Return to tan(u) Example
2.cos3 (x)+2.sin2 (x)cos(x) = 5.sin(x)cos2 (x) <=> cos(x).(2.cos2 (x)+2.sin2 (x) - 5.sin(x)cos(x)) <=> The simple part cos(x) = 0 gives us x = pi/2 + k.pi = 0
In the second part, we divide both sides by cos2 (x). Then we have 2.tan2 (x) - 5.tan(x) +2 = 0 <=> 2.t2 <=> t = 0.5 <=> tan(x) = 0.5 or tan(x) = 2 <=> or t = 2 Let t = tan(x) - 5 t + 2 = 0

Cyclometric equations
All equations are solved using the same method. We replace the equation successively by a necessary condition. This means that the values that we find are not necessary solutions. Afterwards, we have to test these values against the initial equation. The false or parasitic values must be deleted. Example 1
arcsin(2x) = pi/4 + arcsin(x) <=> / arcsin(2x) = a | arcsin(x) = b \ a = pi/4 + b / sin(a) = 2x | sin(b) = x \ a = pi/4 + b / sin(pi/4 + b) = 2x \ sin(b) = x (1)
=>
=>
sum formulas
=>
/ cos(b) + sin(b) = 2x.sqrt(2) \ sin(b) = x / cos(b) = 2x.sqrt(2) - x \ sin(b) = x (2x.sqrt(2) - x)2 + x2 = 1 .... x = +0.4798 or x = -0.4798
=>
We test these values against the initial equation. The only solution is 0.4798. The other x-value is false or parasitic.
Example 2
arctan(x+1) = 3.arctan(x-1) <=> / arctan(x+1) = a | arctan(x-1) = b \ a = 3 b => / tan(a) = x + 1 | tan(b) = x - 1 \ a = 3 b => / tan(3b) = x+ 1 \ tan(b) = x - 1 but 3 tan(b) - tan3(b) tan(3b) = -------------------1 - 3.tan2(b)
=>
=> (x+1) (1 - 3 (x-1)2) = 3(x-1) - (x-1)3 => ... => x = 0 or x = sqrt(2) or x = -sqrt(2)
We test these values against the initial equation. The only solution is sqrt(2). The other x-values are false or parasitic. Example 3
arctan(x) + arctan(2x) = pi/4 <=>

We test these values against the initial equation. The only solution is (-3+sqrt(17))/4. The other x-value is false or parasitic. Example 4
arctan( (x+1)/(x+2) ) - arctan ( (x-1)/(x-2) ) = arccos( 3/sqrt(13) ) / <=> | | \ / => | | \ arctan( arctan( arccos( a - b = (x+1)/(x+2) ) = a (x-1)/(x-2) ) = b 3/sqrt(13) ) = c c
tan(a) = (x+1)/(x+2) tan(b) = (x-1)/(x-2) cos(c) = 3/sqrt(13) a - b = c tan(a) - tan(b) tan(a-b) = -----------------1 + tan(a) tan(b) and after calculation
=>
/ | | \
From the last equation it follows 1 + tan2(c) = 1/cos2(c) = 13/9 => There are now two cases First case : => / | | -2 x tan(c) = ---------------2 x2 - 5
tan(c) = 2/3
x = 1 or x = -5/2
=>

We test these values against the initial equation. The only solutions are 1 and -5/2. The other x-values are false or parasitic.
