Trigonometric identities

Pythagorean, double-angle and sum identities, verified by simplification.

Identities are equations true for every angle. The Pythagorean identity sin²x + cos²x = 1 is Pythagoras on the unit circle; the double-angle and sum formulas follow from it and rotation. To verify one, simplify the difference of the two sides to zero.

Soalan yang orang tanya

Why radians instead of degrees?

A radian is the angle whose arc equals the radius, so it is a pure ratio rather than an arbitrary 1/360 of a turn. With radians the derivative of sin x is exactly cos x; with degrees a factor of π/180 appears everywhere.

Why does sin x = 1/2 have infinitely many solutions?

Sine repeats every full turn, and within one turn it reaches 1/2 twice (at π/6 and 5π/6). Add any whole number of turns to either and it is still true.

How do I remember the exact values?

Two triangles: the 45-45-90 with sides 1, 1, √2 and the 30-60-90 with sides 1, √3, 2. Every value for 30°, 45° and 60° is a ratio of those sides; symmetry gives the rest of the circle.
