Trigonometric Relation Formulas

In summary, the conversation discusses various trigonometric identities, including cos (2x), sin (2x), and tan (2x). Other formulas such as sin x/2, cos x/2, sin x^2, cos x^2, sin x^3, cos x^3, sin (x^(1/2)), and cos (x^(1/2)) are also mentioned. Several users suggest searching for trigonometric identities online, and one user recommends using the website functions.wolfram.com. The conversation also explores identities involving inverse trigonometric functions

I know some of them, such as :

cos (2x) = (cos x)^2 - (sin x)^2

sin (2x) = 2(cos x)(sin x)

tan (2x) = (2tan (x))/(1-(tan x)^2)

sin (a+b) = sin a cos b + cos a sin b

cos (a+b) = cos a cos b - sin a sin b

I need the other formulas such as

sin x/2
cos x/2
sin x^2
cos x^2
sin x^3
cos x^3
sin (x^(1/2))
cos (x^(1/2))

And any others, everyyything about them,

Anyone can help? or guide me to a link?

[tex]Tan[x +- y] = \frac{Tan(x) +- Tan (y)}{1 -+ Tan(x)Tan(y)}[/tex]

[tex]Sin^{2}(x) + Cos^{2}(x) = 1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{Sin A}{A} = \frac{Sin B}{B}[/tex]

[tex]A^{2} = B^{2} + C^{2} - 2BC Cos A[/tex]

[tex]Cos A = \frac{A^{2} - B^{2} - C^{2}}{-2BC}[/tex]

[tex]Sin(\frac{x}{2}) = +-\sqrt{\frac{1 - Cos(x)}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]Cos(\frac{x}{2}) = +-\sqrt{\frac{1 + Cos(x)}{2}}[/tex]

Thanks But ...

Thank you, but I still need sin (x^1/2), cos (x^1/2), sin (x^2), cos (x^2), sin (x^3), cos (x^3), sin (x^1/3), cos (x^1/3)

The roots and poweres are for the angles not for the function

:)

Sin[sqrt(x)] ? ... I'm going to leave that for the expert of this forum to answer lol. But I will cogitate on it.


Edit: After playing around with a right triangle a bit, I got this from a right triangle with sides a,b,c, with c being the hyp, and a being the opp side with angle x.

[tex]
sin(x) = \frac{a}{c}[/tex]

[tex]x = sin^{-1}\frac{a}{c}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt(x) = \sqrt{sin^{-1}\frac{a}{c}} = \phi[/tex]

[tex]
\begin{equation*}
\begin{split}
sin \phi = +- \sqrt{\frac{1 - cos(2\phi)}{2}}
&= +- \sqrt{\frac{1 - cos(2\sqrt{sin^{-1}(\frac{a}{c})})}{2}}
\end{split}
\end{equation*}
[/tex]

Thank you for making a try, anyone else can help also?

google search "trigonometric identities" will give you thousands of sites

but not the ones he want.

How about

http://functions.wolfram.com

It's the base of relationships used by the Mathematica software and has every identity, I believe, known to man.

I doubt you'll find any identities for those functions. At least nothing that isn't even messier than the original function. I can think of some ugly expansions, like:

[tex]
\sin\left(x^2\right)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty(-1)^n\frac{x^{2+4n}}{(2n+1)!}
[/tex]

Of course, I could be wrong. I don't know how to prove that there isn't a simple identity.

how about sin(arctanx)? can this be simplified?
how about sin(arccosx)?
I can get this:
sinx=cos(pi/2-x)
y=sinx=cos(pi/2-x)
x=arcsiny=pi/2-arccosy
so arccosy=pi/2-arcsiny
sin(arccosy)=sin(pi/2-arcsiny)=cos(arcsiny)

[tex]
\begin{align*}
\sin(\arctan(x))&=\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \\
\sin(\arccos(x))&=\sqrt{1-x^2}
\end{align*}
[/tex]
 
  • #12
Now that I think about it we also have:

[tex]
\begin{align*}
\cos(\arcsin(x))&=\sqrt{1-x^2} \\
\cos(\arctan(x))&=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \\
\tan(\arcsin(x))&=\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \\
\tan(\arccos(x))&=\frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}
\end{align*}
[/tex]

Using those identities, I can spot a few more identities, like

[tex]
\sin(\arccos(x))=\cos(\arcsin(x))
[/tex]

which was already mentioned, as well as

[tex]
\begin{align*}
\sin(\arctan(x))&=x\cos(\arctan(x)) \\
\tan(\arcsin(x))&=\frac{1}{\tan(\arccos(x))}
\end{align*}
[/tex]

[tex]= dSin^{-1}(x)/dx[/tex]

I thought

[tex]
\frac{d}{dx}(\arcsin(x))=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}
[/tex]
 

1. What are the basic trigonometric relation formulas?

The basic trigonometric relation formulas are sine, cosine, and tangent, which are used to find the relationship between the sides and angles of a right triangle. These formulas are derived from the Pythagorean theorem and are expressed as sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse, cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse, and tanθ = opposite/adjacent.

2. How are the trigonometric relation formulas used in real-life applications?

The trigonometric relation formulas are used in various fields such as engineering, physics, and navigation. They are used to calculate distances, heights, and angles in real-life scenarios, such as measuring the height of a building or determining the trajectory of a projectile.

3. What is the difference between the reciprocal trigonometric relation formulas?

The reciprocal trigonometric relation formulas are secant, cosecant, and cotangent, which are the inverse of sine, cosine, and tangent, respectively. The main difference is that these formulas use the inverse of the ratios, such as secθ = hypotenuse/adjacent, cscθ = hypotenuse/opposite, and cotθ = adjacent/opposite.

4. How do the trigonometric relation formulas relate to the unit circle?

The unit circle is a circle with a radius of 1, centered at the origin of a coordinate plane. The trigonometric relation formulas can be used to find the coordinates of points on the unit circle, which can then be used to calculate trigonometric ratios for any angle. This helps in solving more complex trigonometric equations and problems.

5. Are there any other important trigonometric relation formulas?

Aside from the basic and reciprocal trigonometric relation formulas, there are other important formulas such as the double angle formulas, half angle formulas, and sum and difference formulas. These formulas are used to simplify trigonometric expressions and solve more complex problems.
