C3 Trigonometry - 1 -
Secant, Cosecant, Cotangent
1. Sec x = , cos x 0
2. Cosec x = , sin x 0
3. Cot x = , tan x 0
= , sin x 0
On your calculator, you will have to use sin, cos and tan keys, followed by the
reciprocal key . However, to find exact values for the 'special'
angles, follow the following examples.
Examples
Find the exact value of:
1 (i) sec 60(ii) cosec 60(iii) cot 30(iv) cosec 45
2. (i) cosec
(ii) sec
(iii) cot
Solution
With calculaor in degrees
1. (i) Press cos to get 0.5 then press 1/x to get 2
(ii) press sin 60 to get 018660 ... which isn't a recognisable fraction ...
then press to get 0.75
i.e. sin2 60 =

so, sin 60 =
so, cosec 60 =
(iii) press tan 30 to get 05773 ... which isn’t a recognisable fraction ... then press to get 0.3333 ... which is .
i.e. tan2 30 =
so, tan 30 =
so, cot 30 =
(iv) press sin 45 to get 0.7071 ... which is not a recognisable fraction ...
then press to get 0.5
i.e. sin2 45 =
so, sin 45 =
so, cosec 45 =
with calculator in rads:
2. (i) press sin ( 6) to get 0.5 cosec = 2
(ii) press cos ( 4) to get 0.7071 ... then press to get 0.5 .
i.e. cos2 =
so, cos =
sec, =

(iii) Press tan to get 1.732 ... then press to get 3
i.e. tan2 = 3
tan =
cot =

Their period are the same as cos, sin and tan.

Trigonometric Identities
You already know sin2 + Cos2 1
If you divide by Cos2 +1
We get
similarly, dividing by sin2 gives
These can be used to simplify expressions

Example
(i) Express 5cot + 2 cosec2 in terms of cot
(ii) Solve the equation 5 cot + 2 cosec2 = 5 for 0 < < 2
Solution
(i) 5 cot + 2 cosec2 5 cot + 2 (1 + cot2 ) 5 cot + 2 + 2cot2
(ii) 5 cot + 2 cosec2 = 5
5 cot + 2 + 2 cot2 = 5 2 cot2 + 5 cot - 3 = 0
This is a quadratic in cot
cot =
=
tan = 2 or -
Because the range of is given in terms of we must have ourCalculator in radians

The Addition Formulae
For all angles, A and B,
(these are in the formula book)
Example 1: Prove the identity
Solution:

C3 Trigonometry - 7 -
Example 2: By writing 75o as (30o + 45o) find the exact value of cos75o
Solution: cos75 = cos(30 + 45) = cos30cos45 - sin30sin45
Example 3: Find the value of tanxo given that sin(x + 30o) = 2cos(x – 30o)
Solution: sin(x + 30) = 2cos(x - 30)
Rearranging gives
Double Angle Formulae(LEARN)
Putting A=B into the addition formulae gives identities for sin2A, cos2A and tan2A:-
Using, sin(A+B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B.
Sin 2A = sin(A+A) = sin A cos A + cos A sin
Sin 2A = 2 sin A cos A

Note: there are 3 forms of cos2A
and
tan 2A =

Example; If sin A = and A is obtuse, find the exact values of cos A,
sin2 A, tan 2 A.Solution:
Example: Solve cos 2A + 3 + 4cos A = 0,
Solution: (Since we have cos A in the equation we choose the form of cos 2A which involves cos A only)

It is useful to be able to express the sum of sin x and cos x as a single sin or cos. It enables us to:
- find the max/min of the expression- solve equations
To find R and , we expand the right hand side and equate like terms.
This gives R =
and values for sin and cos in terms of a, b and R.
Example: i) Express
ii) Find the max and min of the expression and find in radians to 2dp the smallest positive value of for which they occur.
iii) Solve the equation Solution:
(i) R=

NB: 3sin x + 2cos x can also be expressed in the form R cos ( ), but it is usually more convenient to choose the form which produces the terms in the right order with the correct sign.

Inverse Trig Functions
For to exist then must be a one to one function.
If Is not 1-to-1 over its whole domain then can exist
provided we restrict the domain of
The functions and are not 1-to-1 over their whole domain.
The inverse functions and exist for the domains:

The graph of (x) is a reflection of f(x) in the line y = x
are reflections of sin x, cos x tan x in the line y = x (x in radians, same scale on both axes).
