Properties of Trigonometric functions
- Trigonometric functions are ratios of the sides of a right triangle and are used to solve problems involving angles and distances.
- The six trigonometric functions are sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent.
- Trigonometric functions are periodic, with a period of 360 degrees or 2π radians.
- Trigonometric functions have certain symmetries, such as sine being an odd function and cosine being an even function.
- Trigonometric functions have a number of identities that relate them to one another, such as the Pythagorean identity and the sum and difference formulas.
Important Formulas to Remember in these Properties of Trigonometric functions
- sin(−x)=−sin(x)
- cos(−x)=cos(x)
- sin(x±y)=sin(x)cos(y)±cos(x)sin(y)
- cos(x±y)=cos(x)cos(y)∓sin(x)sin(y)
- tan(x±y)=tan(x)±tan(y)1∓tan(x)tan(y)
