Math 111: Summary of Trigonometric Identities

1) The document summarizes various trigonometric identities including reciprocal, quotient, Pythagorean, even/odd, cofunction, sum and difference, double angle, power reducing, half angle, and sum to product and product to sum identities. 2) Some key identities presented are the reciprocal identities relating trig functions to their inverses, the Pythagorean identity relating sin2θ + cos2θ to 1, and the sum and difference formulas for sin(a±b) and cos(a±b) in terms of sin and cos of the individual angles. 3) Double angle, power reducing, and half angle identities are also summarized that relate trig functions of double, squared, and half
