How do you simplify trigonometric expressions?
Use the trigonometric relations and identities.
What is the term trigonometry identity?
Trigonometric identities are trigonometric equations that are always true.
Topics need for trigonometry?
There are several topics under the broad category of trigonometry. * Angle measurements * Properties of angles and circles * Basic trigonometric functions and their reciprocals and co-functions * Graphs of trigonometric functions * Trigonometric identities * Angle addition and subtraction formulas for trigonometric functions * Double and half angle formulas for trigonometric functions * Law of sines and law of cosines * Polar and polar imaginary coordinates.
Are trigonometric equations and trigonometric identities are the same thing?
In a trigonometric equation, you can work to find a solution set which satisfy the given equation, so that you can move terms from one side to another in order to achieve it (or as we say we operate the same things to both sides). But in a trigonometric identity, you only can manipulate separately each side, until you can get or not the same thing to both sides, that is to conclude if the given identity is true or false.
What are five trigonometric identities?
All others can be derived from these and a little calculus: sin2x+cos2x=1 sec2x-tan2x=1 sin(a+b)=sin(a)cos(b)+sin(b)sin(a) cos(a+b)=cos(a)cos(b)-sin(a)sin(b) eix=cos(x)+i*sin(x)
