  • tanx = sinx/cosx
  • 1/tanx =cotx = cosx/sinx
  • cosecx = 1/sinx
  • secx = 1/cosx
  • sin^2x + cos^2x = 1
  • cot^2x +1 = cosec^2x
  • 1+tan^2x = sec^2x
  • cos^-1x = arcosx
  • sin^-1x = arcsinx
  • tan^-1x = arctanx
  • sin2x = 2sinxcosx
  • cos2x= 2cos^2x -1
    = 1-2sin^2x
    = cos^2x - sin^2x
  • tan2x = (2tanx)/(1-tan^2x)
  • tan(A+/-B) = (tanA +/- tanB)/(1 -/+ tanAtanB)
  • sin(A +/- B) = sinAcosB +/- cosAsinB
  • cos(A +/- B) = cosAcosB -/+ sinAsinB
  • sinx = approx. x
  • cosx = approx. 1- 1/2x^2
  • tanx = approx. x
