Trigonometric Identities:

Trigonometric identities are equations that contain trigonometric functions that hold true for every value of the variables involved.

♦ Pythagorean Identities in Trigonometry:

The Pythagorean Theorem is the source of some of the most commonly used trigonometric identities, such as:

1.   {\sin ^2}\theta + {\cos ^2}\theta = 1

2.   1 + {\tan ^2}\theta = {\sec ^2}\theta

3.   1 + {\cot ^2}\theta = {{\mathop{\rm cosec}\nolimits} ^2}\theta

♦ The Bhaskaracharya Sum and Difference Identities in Trigonometry:

Sum and Difference Identities for Sine and Cosine functions in trigonometry for two angles A and B are as follows:

1.   \sin \left( {A + B} \right) = \sin A\cos B + \cos A\sin B

2.   \sin \left( {A - B} \right) = \sin A\cos B - \cos A\sin B

3.   \cos \left( {A + B} \right) = \cos A\cos B - \sin A\sin B

4.   \cos \left( {A - B} \right) = \cos A\cos B + \sin A\sin B

Sum and Difference Identities for Tan and Cot functions in trigonometry are as follows:

1.   \tan \left( {A + B} \right) = \frac{{\tan A + \tan B}}{{1 - \tan A\tan B}}

2.   \tan \left( {A - B} \right) = \frac{{\tan A - \tan B}}{{1 + \tan A\tan B}}

3.   \cot \left( {A + B} \right) = \frac{{\cot B\cot A - 1}}{{\cot B + \cot A}}

4.   \cot \left( {A - B} \right) = \frac{{\cot B\cot A + 1}}{{\cot B - \cot A}}

Sum Identities for three angles A, B and C for Sine, Cosine and Tan functions in trigonometry are as follows:

1.  \sin \left( {A + B + C} \right) 

= \sin A\cos B\cos C + \cos A\sin B\cos C + \cos A\cos B\sin C - \sin A\sin B\sin C

2.   \cos \left( {A + B + C} \right) 

= \cos A\cos B\cos C - \cos A\sin B\sin C - \sin A\cos B\sin C - \sin A\sin B\cos C

3.  \tan \left( {A + B + C} \right) 

= \frac{{\tan A + \tan B + \tan C - \tan A\tan B\tan C}}{{1 - \tan A\tan B - \tan B\tan C - \tan C\tan A}}

♦ Double Angle Identities in Trigonometry:

The double angle identities are just special cases of Bhaskaracharya’s Sum and Difference formulas, when A = B. A trigonometric expression can be written in terms of a single trigonometric function using the double angle identities. Here, trigonometrical ratios of angle 2A in terms of those of angle A for all values of A are given.

Double Angle Identities for Sine and Cosine functions in trigonometry are as follows:

1.   \sin 2A = 2\sin A\cos A

2.   (i)   \cos 2A = {\cos ^2}A - {\sin ^2}A

     (ii)   \cos 2A = 2{\cos ^2}A - 1

    (iii)   \cos 2A = 1 - 2{\sin ^2}A

Double Angle Identities for Sine and Cosine functions in terms of Tan function are as follows:

1.   \sin 2A = \frac{{2\tan A}}{{1 + {{\tan }^2}A}}

2.   \cos 2A = \frac{{1 - {{\tan }^2}A}}{{1 + {{\tan }^2}A}}

Double Angle Identities for Tan and Cot functions in trigonometry are as follows:

1.   \tan 2A = \frac{{2\tan A}}{{1 - {{\tan }^2}A}}

2.   \cot 2A = \frac{{{{\cot }^2}A - 1}}{{2\cot A}}

♦ Half-Angle Identities in Trigonometry:

The half-angle identities are also special cases of Bhaskaracharya’s Sum and Difference Formulas. Half-angle identities can be used to evaluate the trigonometrical function of an angle that is not on the unit circle. For example, we can find the value of the trigonometrical function of 15°, which is not on the unit circle, because 15° is half of 30°, which is on the unit circle. Here, trigonometrical ratios of angle A in terms of those of angle A/2 for all values of A are given.

Half-Angle Identities in terms of cos A are as follows:

1.  {\sin ^2}\frac{A}{2} = \frac{{1 - \cos A}}{2},   or    \sin \frac{A}{2} = \pm \sqrt {\frac{{1 - \cos A}}{2}}

2.   {\cos ^2}\frac{A}{2} = \frac{{1 + \cos A}}{2},   or    \cos \frac{A}{2} = \pm \sqrt {\frac{{1 + \cos A}}{2}}

3.   {\tan ^2}\frac{A}{2} = \frac{{1 - \cos A}}{{1 + \cos A}},   or    \tan \frac{A}{2} = \pm \sqrt {\frac{{1 - \cos A}}{{1 + \cos A}}}

Half-Angle Identities in terms of sin A are as follows:

1.  2\sin \frac{A}{2} = \pm \sqrt {1 + \sin A} \pm \sqrt {1 - \sin A}

2.  2\cos \frac{A}{2} = \pm \sqrt {1 + \sin A} \mp \sqrt {1 - \sin A}

♦ Thrice of Angle Identities in Trigonometry:

The thrice of angle identities, that is, trigonometrical ratios of angle 3A in terms of those of angle A for all values of A are as follows:

1.   \sin 3A = 3\sin A - 4{\sin ^3}A

2.   \cos 3A = 4{\cos ^3}A - 3\cos A

3.   \tan 3A = \frac{{3\tan A - {{\tan }^3}A}}{{1 - 3{{\tan }^2}A}}

♦ Sum-to-Product formulas or Identities in Trigonometry:

Sum to Product formulas or identities for two angles C and D in Trigonometry are as follows:

1.   \sin C + \sin D = 2\sin \left( {\frac{{C + D}}{2}} \right)\cos \left( {\frac{{C - D}}{2}} \right)

2.   \sin C - \sin D = 2\cos \left( {\frac{{C + D}}{2}} \right)\sin \left( {\frac{{C - D}}{2}} \right)

3.   \cos C + \cos D = 2\cos \left( {\frac{{C + D}}{2}} \right)\cos \left( {\frac{{C - D}}{2}} \right)

4.   \cos C - \cos D = 2\sin \left( {\frac{{C + D}}{2}} \right)\sin \left( {\frac{{D - C}}{2}} \right)

♦ Product-to-Sum formulas or Identities in Trigonometry:

Product to Sum formulas or identities for two angles A and Bin Trigonometry are as follows:

1.   2\sin A\cos B = \sin \left( {A + B} \right) + \sin \left( {A - B} \right)

2.   2\cos A\sin B = \sin \left( {A + B} \right) - \sin \left( {A - B} \right)

3.   2\cos A\cos B = \cos \left( {A + B} \right) + \cos \left( {A - B} \right)

4.   2\sin A\sin B = \cos \left( {A - B} \right) - \cos \left( {A + B} \right)
