Summary
1 Trigonometric identities
An equation involving trigonometric ratios of an angle(s) is called a trigonometric
identity if it is true for all values of the angle(s) involved.
. Some basic trigonometric identities are
sin² A + cos² A= 1, 0° sAs 90°;
1+ tan²A= sec A, 0° <A< 90° and
1+ cot² A= cosec2A, 0°<As 90°
" Using the basic trigonometricidentities, we can express each trigonometric ratio in
terms of the other trigonometric ratios ie. if the value of any one of the trigonometric
ratios is known, then we can find the values of all other trigonometric ratios.
