Unit Analytical Trigonometry Classwork A) Verifying Trig Identities: Definitions to know: Equality: a statement that is always true. example:, + 7, 6 6, ( + ) 6 +0. Equation: a statement that is conditionally true, depending on the value of a variable. example: x +, ( x ), x x + x 0, sin. Identity: a statement that is always true no matter the value of the variable. example: x + x x, ( x ) x, ( x ) x x +, x x + x. In the last example, it could be argued that this is x not an identity, because it is not true for all values of the variable (x cannot be or -). However, when such statements are written, we assume the domain is taken into consideration although we don t always write it. So a better definition of an identity is: a statement that is always true for all values of the variable within its domain.

In this section, you will be given a number of trigonometric identities. Remember they are true. Your job will be proving that they are true. Your tools will be your knowledge of algebra, the 8 trig identities, and your ingenuity. Some are easy like example and others are more difficult like example. Example ) sin ( csc sin ) cos Example ) sec x sin csc sin sin cos sec x csc tan x sec x sec x cosx sec x sec x sec x csc x tan x Guidelines for verifying trigonometric identities: ) Your job is to prove one side of an identity is equal to the other so you will only work on one side of the identity, so ) Always work on the most complicated side and try to transform it to the simpler side. More complicated can mean the side that is longer or has more complicated expressions. Additions (or subtractions) are generally more complicated than multiplications. ) If an expression can be multiplied out, do so. ) If an expression can be factored, do so. ) If you have a polynomial over a single term, you can split it into several fractions. 6) If you have an expression, that involves adding fractions, do so finding a lowest common denominator. 7) When in doubt, convert everything to sines and cosines. 8) Don t be afraid to create complex fractions. Once you do that, many problems are a step away from solution. 9) Always try something! You don t have to see the solution before you actually do the problem. Sometimes when you try something, the solution just evolves. ) csc x + sec x sec x ) cos x + sin x cos x + csc x + sin x sec x + cos x + tan x sec x cos x + cos x + sin x cos x + ) cos x sin x 6) + sin x sin x sin x cosx + ( ) sin x + + cos x + sin x + cos x sin x + cos x + sin x + cos x 7) cot x csc x cosx 8) tan x + cot x sec x csc x + sin x + cos x sec x csc x.

E) Solving trigonometric equations Just as we solved equations for a value of x that satisfied the equation, we do the same for trig equations in this case finding the value of an angle that satisfies the equation. Example ). We can do this by inspection we know from our knowledge of graphing and quadrant angles that the angle that satisfies this equation is 90 or (. However, there are other angles that satisfy this equation like 0,80,70,... So we usually solve the equation on a certain domain. Usually we will solve it on 0 x < 60 or 0 x <. We can also verify our solutions by graphing the equation.
