====================================================

 

For the description of the trigonometric functions used in this post look here.

 

1. Basic trigonometric identities.

 

  sin(- alpha) = -sin{alpha}

  cos(- alpha) = cos{alpha}

  tan(- alpha) = - tan{alpha}

  cot(- alpha) = - cot{alpha}

  sec(- alpha) = sec{alpha}

   csc(- alpha) = - csc{alpha}

  sin^2{alpha} + cos^2{alpha} = 1

   tan{alpha} = {{sin{alpha}}/{cos{alpha}}}

   cot{alpha} = {{cos{alpha}}/{sin{alpha}}}

   tan{alpha} = {1/{cot{alpha}}}

   cot{alpha} = {1/{tan{alpha}}}

   sec{alpha} = {1/{cos{alpha}}}

   cos{alpha} = {1}/{sec{alpha}}

   csc{alpha} =  {1/{sin{alpha}}}

   sin{alpha} = {1}/{csc{alpha}}

 

2. Relations between two different trigonometric functions.
