Trigonometry Functions Lecture
Introduction
Welcome and request for comments for motivation.
Previous lecture covered Algebraic functions.
Current focus: Trigonometry functions, specifically for 12th grade.
Importance of understanding and memorizing formulas.
Key Formulas and Tricks
Basic Trigonometric Formulas
Sine and Cosine
: When different, use the sine function twice. When similar, use the cosine function twice.
Order
: If sine comes first, the result is positive; if sine comes second, the result is negative.
Half-Angle Formulas
For $\cos \theta$, use formulas like \cos(2\theta) = 1 - 2sin²(\theta).
Key formulas: $\sin^2x = 1 - \cos(2x)$, $\cos^2x = 1 - 2sin²(2x)$.
Application of Formulas
Apply sine and cosine rules based on angle relationships.
Always verify angle sizes before applying formulas.
Derivatives and Integrals
Basic form: $\frac{d}{dx}[a^x \cos b x + a^x sin bx]$.
Understand adding and subtracting angles in trigonometric functions to simplify expressions.
Example Problems
Problem 1
Given
: $\cos(6x) - \cos(2x)$
Approach
: \cos formula application, simplify using trigonometric identities.
Solution
: Break down to basic trigonometric forms and simplify.
Problem 2
Given
: $\sin^2x + \cos^2x$
Approach
: Utilize known identities like $\sin^2x = 1 - \cos(2x)$. Adjust angles accordingly and solve.
Solution
: Apply double angle formulas and simplify.
Problem 3
Given
: Convert expressions involving $\sin(2x)$ and $\cos(2x)$.
Approach
: Rewrite using basic and double angle identities.
Solution
: Simplify step-by-step, balancing terms as necessary.
Key Takeaways
