Identities Theory

NSW Syllabus Reference

NSW Syllabus Reference: ME-T2 Further Trigonometric Identities. This will require student toΒ 

  • derive and use the sum and difference expansions for the trigonometric functions \(\sin (𝐴 \pm 𝐡),\, \cos (𝐴 \pm 𝐡)\) and \(\tan (𝐴 \pm 𝐡)\) (ACMSM044)
  • derive and use the double angle formulae for \(\sin 2𝐴,\, \cos 2𝐴\) and \(\tan 2𝐴\) (ACMSM044)
  • derive and use expressions for \(\sin 𝐴,\, \cos 𝐴\) and \(\tan 𝐴\) in terms of \(t\) where \(t=\tan \dfrac{A}{2}\) (the \(t\)-formulae)
  • derive and use the formulae for trigonometric products as sums and differences for \(\cos 𝐴 cos 𝐡,\, sin 𝐴 sin 𝐡,\, sin 𝐴 cos 𝐡\) and \(cos 𝐴 sin 𝐡\) (ACMSM047)

Theory

Identities will be used to simplify expressions in the Class Mathematics (and your school) questions. The following Pythagorean results will be useful:

  • \({\sin ^2}A + {\cos ^2}A = 1,\,\,{\rm{or }}{\sin ^2}A = 1 - {\cos ^2}A\,\,{\rm{or }}{\cos ^2}A = 1 - {\sin ^2}A\)
  • \(1 + {\tan ^2}A = {\sec ^2}A\,\,{\rm{or}}\,\,{\tan ^2}A = {\sec ^2}A - 1\,\,{\rm{or}}\,{\rm{se}}{{\rm{c}}^2}A - {\tan ^2}A = 1\)
  • \(1 + {\cot ^2}A = {\rm{cose}}{{\rm{c}}^2}A\,\,{\rm{or}}\,\,{\cot ^2}A = {\rm{cose}}{{\rm{c}}^2}A - 1\,\,{\rm{or}}\,{\rm{cose}}{{\rm{c}}^2}A - {\cot ^2}A = 1\)
