# Trigonometric Identities
|
|
|
|
All of the following only apply when the denominator is not equal to zero.
|
|
|
|
$$ tan \theta = \frac{y}{x} $$
|
|
Because the following are inverses of their counterparts, you only need to remember the equivalents for $sin$, $cos$, and $tan$, then just find the inverse by taking $1/v$.

|
| $$ sin\theta = y $$ | $$ csc\theta = \frac{1}{y} $$ |
|
|
| $$ cos\theta = x $$ | $$ sec \theta = \frac{1}{x} $$ |
|
|
| $$ tan\theta = \frac{sin\theta} | |
|
|
$$ cot \theta = \frac{x}{y} $$
|
|
$$ sec\theta = \frac{1}{cos\theta}$$
|
|
$$ csc\theta = \frac{1}{sin\theta}$$

# Pythagorean Identities
|
|
The Pythagorean identity expresses the Pythagorean theorem in terms of trigonometric functions. It's a basic relation between the sine and cosine functions.
|
|
$$ sin^2 \theta + cos^2 \theta = 1 $$
