Unit 6: Analytic Trigonometric Functions This unit corresponds to Chapter 6 of the textbook. In Unit 6 you will be covering
the following sections from your textbook:
6.1: Verifying Trigonometric Identities
6.2: Trigonometric Equations
6.3: The Addition and Subtraction Formulas
6.4: Multiple‐Angle Formulas
6.6: The Inverse Trigonometric Functions
Introduction In advanced mathematics it is sometimes necessary to simplify a trigonometric
expression by using an identity or formula. In particular, solving trigonometric
equations often requires algebraic methods that involve identities. In the last section
of this unit you will be introduced to the inverse trigonometric functions—another
tool to solve trigonometric equations.
Learning Outcomes In this unit you will learn how to verify identities and use them to simplify
trigonometric expressions. You will also learn how to use them to solve
trigonometric equations. Specific learning outcomes are listed at the beginning of
each section in the unit.

6.1: Verifying Trigonometric Identities
Introduction
After working hard to solve an algebra problem you check the answer and it looks
different from yours. But, after a moment of panic, you realize that it’s really just
saying the same thing in a different way. This can often be seen by means of an
algebraic identity (i.e. an equation, like 2 22 1 ( 1)x x x , which is true for all values of the variable). You also frequently use identities to simplify expressions and
to rearrange the terms in an equation to make it easier to find a solution.
Identities involving trigonometric functions are important for similar reasons. You
have already seen some examples, and in this section you will find more. You will
also learn how to work with identities you know in order to get new ones.
Section Learning Outcomes
After completing this section you should be able to:
Use the Pythagorean, reciprocal, tangent, and cotangent identities to verify other identities.
Study Plan
1. Read section 6.1 of the textbook.
2. Read the following “Study Notes and Sample Questions” section to prepare for the practice exercises.
3. Follow the instructions regarding “Further Practice.”

Introduction
In Unit 5 we briefly addressed the problem of finding angles from given
trigonometric ratios. This amounts to solving for t in an equation like sin( )t v where v is a given value. In this section, we shall look at such problems in more
detail and will also find angles from more complicated equations involving their
trigonometric ratios.
