 Identity
•An identity is
  an equality that holds true regardless
of the values chosen for its variables.

Following are two examples of Identities:-

= + + 2

= -

- because these holds true for all values of and

The

1. Reciprocal Relations
cosec θ = sec θ = cot θ =

2. Quotient Relations
tan θ = cot θ =

3. Square Relations
