 2. REDUCTION FORMULAE

Second Quadrant First Quadrant

sin(180° − 𝜃) = sin 𝜃 sin(360° + 𝜃) = sin 𝜃

cos(180° − 𝜃) = − cos 𝜃 cos(360° + 𝜃) = cos 𝜃

tan(180° − 𝜃) = − tan 𝜃 tan(360° + 𝜃) = tan 𝜃

Third Quadrant Fourth Quadrant

sin(180° + 𝜃) = − sin 𝜃 sin(360° − 𝜃) = −sin 𝜃

cos(180° + 𝜃) = − cos 𝜃 cos(360° − 𝜃) = cos 𝜃

tan(180° + 𝜃) = tan 𝜃 tan(360° − 𝜃) = −tan 𝜃

Function values of negative angles

If OP rotates, from the positive x-axis, clockwise around O, then 𝜃 is a negative angle.

Reduction formulae for negative angles (for any value of 𝜃):

sin(−𝜃) = −sin 𝜃

cos(−𝜃) = cos 𝜃

tan(−𝜃) = − tan 𝜃
