Trigonometry II – A Complete List of Trigonometry Formulas for SSC

and Other Exams

Posted on 21st June 2017

Trigonometry Formulas are extremely handy to solve questions in

trigonometry. Most of trigonometry formulas play around with trigonometric
ratios. Read on for a complete list of Trigonometry Formulas.

Trigonometry
Formulas are extremely essential when solving questions in trigonometry in
competitive exams like SSC CGL. This is the 2nd blog in our series on
Trigonometry where you will get a complete list of trigonometry formulas that
form the basics of solving questions in trigonometry. In the 1st blog of the
series we discussed- what is trigonometry and the different trigonometric
ratios. Taking that a step ahead we will now discuss trigonometric formulas
relating the ratios. Before that you must go through the basics of
trigonometry.

Signs of Trigonometric Ratios

A
lot of trigonometry formulas are based on the signs of trigonometric ratios,
based on the quadrants they lie in. Therefore it becomes extremely essential
for us to understand how trigonometric ratios get the positive or negative
sign. The sign is based on the quadrant in which the angle lies.
Let
us assume an angle of θ1
lying in the 1st quadrant and an angle θ in quadrant one and two combined.
So let us see how signs change with respect to the quadrant they lie in.

In Quadrant 1 all trigonometric ratios

are positive. (angles between 00 – 900)

In Quadrant 2 all trigonometric ratios

of sinθ and cosecθ are positive. (angles between 900 – 1800)

In Quadrant 3 all trigonometric ratios

of cosθ and secθ are positive. (angles between 1800 – 2700)

In Quadrant 4 all trigonometric ratios

of tanθ and cotθ are positive. (angles between 2700 – 3600)

θ is the angle made between the x-axis and the

line, in the anti-clockwise direction. If we move in the clockwise direction,
the angle will be taken as – θ. We know
that in quadrant 4, only cosθ and secθ will be positive, the others will be
negative, therefore-
We need to understand that trigonometric
ratios would change for angles-

and they will remain same for 1800+θ

and for 3600+θ.
Let’s see what happens when we add or
subtract θ from 900 or 2700-
This is because any angle that is 2700+θ
will fall in quadrant 4 and in this quadrant only trigonometric ratios of cos
and sec are positive. So the above will be negative. 2700-θ will
fall in the quadrant 3 and in this quadrant trigonometric ratios of tan and cot
are positive, so it will again be negative.
For 1800+θ and for
3600+θ, the signs will remain the same.

For 3600+θ, the angle will

complete one full rotation and then lie in quadrant 1 where all trigonometric
ratios are positive.
So there are 2 important things to
remember-
1. The sign of the trigonometric ratios change
based on the value of θ.
2. sin becomes cos and cos becomes sin for 900+θ
and for 2700+θ and it remains the same for 1800+θ
and for 3600+θ.

Trigonometry Formulas: Trigonometric Identities

After
looking at the trigonometric ratios, let us move on to trigonometric identities,
which are the basics of most trigonometry formulas.
The
above identities hold true for any value of θ.

Trigonometry Formulas: Sum and Difference of Angles

Trigonometry Formulas: Double Angle Formulas

Trigonometry Formulas: Triple Angle Formulas

Trigonometry Formulas: Converting Product into Sum and Difference

Trigonometry Formulas: Converting Sum and Difference into Product

Trigonometry Formulas: Values of Trigonometric Ratios

These
formulas are required to solve trigonometry questions in the traditional way.
Stay
tuned for more on trigonometry and till then keep practicing!

Very helpful but you did something wrong

Guest
tan(90+x)= – cotx where as u have written +cotx and there are some more only in these

case everything else was very helpful

Thank you!
