    Trigonometric Formulas – Handy Summary Sheet

    1st Quadrant Measures of common angles:

     rad sin  cos 


    0 0 0 1
    30  /6 1/ 2 3/2
    45  /4 2 /2 2 /2
    60  /3 3/2 1/ 2
    90  /2 1 0

    Also, be able to draw accurate graphs of the sine and cosine functions

    Conversions from other quadrants to 1st quadrant:

    Q2 to Q1:  - ; Q3 to Q1:  - ; Q4 to Q1: 2 - . ( in radians)

    If you forget these, draw a circle and use symmetry and common sense.

    Signs in other quadrants:

    A mnemonic: "All Students Take Calculus". A = all are + in Q1; S = sine is + in Q2; T
    = tangent is + in Q3; C = cosine is + in Q4.

    Inverse trig functions:

    y = sin-1 x: y will be in Q1 or Q4, use symmetry to get other answers.


    y = cos-1 x: y will be in Q1 or Q2, use symmetry to get other answers.
    y = tan-1 x: y will be in Q1 or Q4, use symmetry to get other answers.

    Know the domains and ranges of the inverse trig functions.

    Know midline, amplitude, period based on graphs!!!

    Some Common Basic Identities (You should know these):


    sin x
    tan x 
    cos x

    sin2 x + cos2 x = 1 (Corollaries: sin2 x = 1 - cos2 x, cos2 x = 1 - sin2 x)

    sin (2x) = 2 sin x cos x

    cos (2x) = cos2 x - sin2 x = 2cos2 x - 1 = 1 - 2sin2 x.

       
    sin x    cos x cos x    sin x (shift identities)
     2  2

    sin(-x) = -sin(x), tan(-x) = -tan(x) (sine and tangent are odd functions)

    cos(-x) = cos(x) (cosine is an even function)

    Right Triangles:

    opp adj opp


    sin   ; cos   ; tan  
    hyp hyp adj

    "Soh-Cah-Toa". Remember, csc x = 1/sin x, sec x = 1/cos x, cot x =


    1/tan x.

    Use Pythagoras' formula to determine unknown sides in a right triangle.

    Law of Cosines: (Used in SAS or SSS triangles)

    Lower case a, b, c are always sides, Capital A, B, C are angles. A is opposite a, etc.

    c 2  a 2  b 2  2ab cos C . Analogous formulas for a and b.

    Find the side opposite the largest given angle first, if possible. Beware of ambiguous
    cases.

    Law of Sines:

    sin A sin B sin C


     
    a b c

    Make sure you're in the right mode (degree/radian).
