2. Fundamental Trigonometric Identities Use fundamental trigonometric identities to simplify and rewrite expressions and to verify other identities. Objective

3. Holt McDougal Algebra 2 Fundamental Trigonometric Identities A derivation for a Pythagorean identity is shown below. x 2 + y 2 = r 2 cos 2 θ + sin 2 θ = 1 Pythagorean Theorem Divide both sides by r 2. Substitute cos θ for and sin θ for

4. Holt McDougal Algebra 2 Fundamental Trigonometric Identities To prove that an equation is an identity, alter one side of the equation until it is the same as the other side. Justify your steps by using the fundamental identities.

5. Holt McDougal Algebra 2 Fundamental Trigonometric Identities Other versions of the Pythagorean identities may be used also. Look at and solve for cos 2 θ cos 2 θ + sin 2 θ = 1 This should leave you with: cos 2 θ = 1 - sin 2 θ Do this again this time solving for sin 2 θ. This should leave you with: sin 2 θ = 1 - cos 2 θ

6. Holt McDougal Algebra 2 Fundamental Trigonometric Identities Prove each trigonometric identity. Choose the right-hand side to modify. Reciprocal identities. Simplify. Ratio identity.

7. Holt McDougal Algebra 2 Fundamental Trigonometric Identities You may start with either side of the given equation. It is often easier to begin with the more complicated side and simplify it to match the simpler side. Helpful Hint If you get stuck, try converting all of the trigonometric functions to sine and cosine functions.
