 3. The derivative of cosine: $\dfrac{d}{dx} \cos(x) = -\sin(x)$
 4. Half angle cosine identity: $\cos^2(x) = \frac{1}{2}(1 + \cos(2x))$
 5. Half angle sine identity: $\sin^2(x) = \frac{1}{2}(1 - \cos(2x))$

+6. $tan^2(x) + 1 = sec^2(x)$
+7. $\dfrac{d}{dx}(\tan(x)) = \sec^2(x) \Rightarrow \int \sec^2(x)dx = \tan(x) + C$ 
+8. $\dfrac{d}{dx}(\sec x) = \sec(x)\tan(x) \Rightarrow \int\sec(x)\tan(x) dx = \sec(x) + C$
