FINDING THE VALUES FOR WHICH IDENTITEIS ARE INVALID OR
UNDEFINED/ RESTRICTION IN TRIGONPMETRY EQUATIONS
An identity is undefined if the denominator is zero.
If an identity is in the form A f (x) , it is not valid for the values for the values
of x which make f ( x) 0
sin x
If an identity involves tanx, it is not valid for x 90 k.180 , tan x
cos x
and cos x 0 when x 90 k.180
EXAMPLES
tan x. cos x
3. Consider the identity 1
sin x
3.1 For which values of x will the identity above be invalid? State the general solutions.
cos x 1
4. Consider the identity tan x
1 sin x cos x
4.1 For which values of x is the identity above undefined for the interval
x 180 ;180 ?
