Standard Trigonometric Identities
1. Solve, when possible, for y and differentiate with • sin2 𝜃 + cos 2 𝜃 = 1
respect to x. Except for very simple equations, this • sin(𝛼 ± 𝛽) = 𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝛼 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝛽 ± 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝛼 𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝛽
procedure is to be avoided. • cos(𝛼 ± 𝛽) = 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝛼 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝛽 ∓ 𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝛼 𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝛽
2. Thinking of y as a function of x, differentiate both sides • 𝑠𝑖𝑛2𝛼 = 2𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝛼 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝛼
of the given equation with respect to x and solve the • 𝑐𝑜𝑠2𝛼 = cos 2 𝛼 − sin2 𝛼 = 1 − 2 sin2 𝛼 = 2 cos 2 𝑎 − 1
resulting relation for y’. This differentiation process is • sec 2 𝛼 = 1 + tan2 𝛼
known as implicit differentiation. 𝑡𝑎𝑛 𝛼±tan 𝛽
