The Negative Angle Identities in Trigonometry - V

The document discusses negative angle identities in trigonometry, which show the relationships between trig functions when taking the trig function of a negative angle. It provides the 6 basic negative angle identity formulas and includes 2 examples showing how to use these identities to solve practical problems involving specific trig function values of negative angles. The lesson summary restates the negative angle identities and indicates they give the relationships between trig functions for negative angles.

Negative angle identities can be used in trigonometry to
show the relationship between trigonometric functions of
negative angles. Look into trigonometric identities,
negative angle identities, and two examples of this in
practical situations. Updated: 11/23/2021

Trigonometric Identities
Picture this: You have a successful career as a builder,
and you and a coworker are working together to figure
out the angle at which you should position two beams to
create in order to secure a ceiling. You need an angle, x,
such that cos(x) = √3 / 2.

Creating an Angle

As you are working on the problem and considering


different angles, you begin working with the angle with
measure 30 degrees. You calculate cos(30) to get the
following:

Negative Angle Identities


Negative angle identities are trigonometric identities
that show the relationships between trigonometric
functions when we take the trigonometric function of a
negative angle. These identities are as follows:

sin(-x) = -sin(x)
cos(-x) = cos(x)
tan(-x) = -tan(x)
csc(-x) = -csc(x)
sec(-x) = sec(x)
cot(-x) = -cot(x)

Example 1
This time, suppose you are scrapbooking, and you want
a photo to fit into a page in a certain way. You are going
to be creating an angle, x, with the photo and some
construction paper, such that sec(x) = 2. You find that
when you work with the angle that has measure 60
degrees, you have:

Let's consider one more example. Say you're sitting in
trigonometry class, and the instructor tells you the value
of sin(45).

Lesson Summary
Trigonometric identities give relationships between
different variations of trigonometric functions. The
negative angle identities give the relationship between
trigonometric functions when we take the trigonometric
function of a negative angle. These negative angle
identities are as follows.

Identities: True or False Activity
This activity will help assess your knowledge of the six
examples of negative angle trigonometric identities.

Directions

Determine if the following statements are TRUE or


FALSE. To do this, print this page on blank paper and
underline or circle your answer.

True | False 1. The expression -sin(30) can be written as


sin(30).

True | False 2. The cosine of -270 degrees is equal to the


negative cosine of 270 degrees.

True | False 3. The negative tangent of 120 degrees is


equal to the tangent of 120 degrees.

True | False 4. The equivalent expression for -cot(45)


would be cot(-45).

True | False 5. The secant of -80 degrees is equal to the


secant of 80 degrees.

True | False 6. If sin(45) is 0.71 and cot(45) is 1, then


cot(-45) divided by -sin(-45) is equal to 1.41.

True | False 7. If csc(-60) is -1.15 and sec(-60) is 2, then -


csc(60) times sec(60) is equal to 0.575.

True | False 8. If cos(-150) is -0.87 and tan(150) is -0.58,


then cos(150) + tan(-150) is equal to -0.29.

Answer Key

1. False, because the correct statement is: The


expression -sin(30) can be written as sin(-30).
2. False, because the correct statement is: The
cosine of -270 degrees is equal to the cosine of
270 degrees.
3. True
4. True
5. True
6. False, because the correct statement is: If sin(45)
is 0.71 and cot(45) is 1, then cot(-45) divided by -
sin(-45) is equal to -1.41.
7. False, because the correct statement is: If csc(-60)
is -1.15 and sec(-60) is 2, then -csc(60) times
sec(60) is equal to -2.3.
8. True
