5.1 Using Fundamental Identities Evaluating trig functions Simplifying trig expressions Solve trig equations
Reciprocal Identities
Quotient Identities
Pythagorean identities
Cofunction Identities
Even/Odd identities
Evaluating Use a given value with an identity to find another trig value You can also draw a right triangle
Simplifying Look for a common factor to factor out Try to write the expression in terms of only 1 trig function Try to rewrite the expression using only sin and cos Substitute values from trig identities
Factoring Rewrite the expression in terms of 1 trig function Substitute variables for the trig functions to write the expression in polynomial form Factor the polynomial and then substitute back in the trig function
