Where did our Pythagorean Identities come from?
Do you remember the Unit Circle?
What is the equation for the unit circle?
x2 + y2 = 1
What does x = ? What does y = ?
(in terms of trig functions)
Sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1

Pythagorean
Identity!
 Take the Pythagorean Identity and
discover a new one!
Hint: Try dividing everything by cos2θ
sin2θ + cos2θ = 1 .
cos2θ cos2θ cos2θ

tan2θ + 1 = sec2θ
