Another way to use identities is to write one function in
terms of another function. Lets see an example of this:
2
Write the following expression
in terms of only one trig function:
cos sin 1 x x + +
This expression involves both
sine and cosine. The
Fundamental Identity makes a
connection between sine and
cosine so we can use that and
solve for cosine squared and
substitute.

sin cos 1 x x + =
2 2
cos 1 sin x x =
2
= 1 sin sin 1 x x + +

= sin sin 2 x x + +
A third way to use identities is to find function values. Lets
see an example of this:

When we square root, we need but determine that wed
need the negative since we have an angle in Quad II where
cosine values are negative.

If a function is even, its reciprocal function will be
also. If a function is odd its reciprocal will be also.
EVEN-ODD PROPERTIES
sin(- x ) = - sin x (odd) csc(- x ) = - csc x (odd)
cos(- x) = cos x (even) sec(- x ) = sec x (even)
tan(- x) = - tan x (odd) cot(- x ) = - cot x (odd)
