5.1 Using Fundamental Identities
In this chapter, you will learn how to use the
fundamental identities to do the following:
Evaluate trigonometric functions
Simplify trigonometric expressions
Develop additional trigonometric identities
Solve trigonometric equations
5.1 Using Fundamental Identities
Using Identities to evaluate a function
Why should you learn this?
•In calculus you will use trigonometric
identities to simplify an expression.
•Ex: Homework p.347 #97 is an example

Tan  0
Find: The value of all six trigonometric functions
*Remember:
Once you know the value of Sine and Cosine you
can find the values of all six trigonometric
functions

*NOTE: On occasion, factoring or simplifying can best be
done by rewriting the expression in terms of just one
trigonometric function or in terms of sine or cosine alone.
