N1 Trigonometric Identities
What’s In
In previous lessons, we have defined trigonometric functions using the unit
circle and also investigated the graphs of the six trigonometric functions.
This lesson builds on the understanding of the different trigonometric functions by
discovery, deriving, and working with trigonometric identities.
Let us recall the domain topic considering the following expressions:
1. 2 x+1
2. √ x 2−1
5
In the second expression, not every real value of x makes the expression
defined in ℝ. For example, when x=0, the expression becomes √ −1, which is not a
real number.
What’s New
1.) x 2−1=0
2.) ( x +7)2=x 2+ 49
4.) ( x +7)2=x 2+ 14 x+ 49
2
5.) x −4 =2 x−1
x −2

x −4
6.) =x+2

What is It
Let us take a look at the different examples presented following the order of
the topics.

3. =1 true for all x, x≠ 0

Example:
1. x + 5= 11 true if x=6

E. SITUATIONAL PROBLEMS INVOLVING TRIGONOMETRIC IDENTITITES
1. A baseball player hit the ball at an angle θ to the horizontal with an initial veocity of
v 0 feet per second. If air resistance is ignored, the horizontal distance d travelled by
1 2
the ball, the range, is given by R= v sinθ cos θ .
16 0
1 2
a. Show that R= v sin 2 θ .
32 0
b. Since the largest value for sine function is 1, occuring when θ=90 °, then for
maximum R, we must have 2θ=90 °, or θ=45 °.
17
2. You are kicking a football from gorund level with an initial speed of 80 feet per
second. Can you make the ball travel 200 feet?
Solution:
1 2
x= v sin 2θ
32
1
200= (80)2 sin 2 θ
32
1=sin2 θ
90 °=2 θ
45 ° =θ
Therefore, you can make the football travel 200 feet if you kick it at an ange of 45°.
