A trigonometrical identity is a relation implying of the goniometrical functions and which is checked for all the values of the variables intervening in the relation.
These identities can be useful when an expression comprising of the goniometrical functions needs to be simplified. They thus constitute a useful “toolbox” for the solution to problem.
The goniometrical functions are useful much in Intégration, to integrate “nontrigonometrical” functions: a usual process consists in carrying out a change of variable by using a goniometrical function, and then simplifying the integral obtained with the trigonometrical identities.
Notation : with the goniometrical functions, we will define sin2, cos2, etc, the functions such as for any reality X , sin2 ( X ) = (sin ( X ))2,…

Many identities similar to following can be obtained starting from the Théorème of Pythagore:
-
Formulate sines
It is enough to see that ha = 2S with H = C .sinB thus ABC. sin B = 2S.b. In addition the point of contest of the bisectrices R is I the circle inscribed ruffle +rb + rc = 2S = r.2p.
R is the radius of the circumscribed circle.
Formulate differences on the sides
It is a direct application of the formula of the sines and formulas of factorization. One in the same way has also the sum on the sides.
For an angle has sufficiently small, B is not very different from C, and the difference is worth:
,
This result is obtained by using the Al-Kashi formula for the angle B then by neglecting or by considering the projection of BC on AB.
(to remember that being acute, and to apply Al-Kashi)
Identities without variable
Richard Feynman which was famous to have learned very well its formulas from trigonometry, always remembered of this curious identity:
-
Such an identity is an example of identity which does not contain a variable and is obtained starting from the equality:
-
The following relations can also be regarded as identities without variable:
-
-
It is that the measurement in degrees of the angles does not give a formula simpler than with measurement in radians when we consider this identity with 21 with the denominators:
-
But factors 1,2,4,5,8,10 can make us think of the entireties lower than 21/2 which do not have a common factor with 21. The last examples are consequences of a basic result on the cyclotomic polynomials; the cosine are the real parts of the roots of these polynomials; the sum of the zeros gives the value of the Fonction of Möbius into 21 (in the very last case which precedes); only the half of the roots are present in the preceding relation.
In analyzes…
In analysis, it is essential that the angles which appear as goniometrical arguments of functions are measured in Radian S; if they are measured in degrees or in any other unit, then the relations deferred below become false.
If the goniometrical functions are geometrically defined, then their derivative can be obtained by establishing these limits beforehand:
-
and
-
and by then using the definition with the limits of derived in a point as well as the theorems from addition; if the goniometrical functions are defined by their
Taylor series, then the derivative can be obtained by deriving the whole series term in the long term.
-
The other goniometrical functions can be derived by using the preceding identities and the rules from Dérivation, for example:
-
-
-
-
The identities on the integrals can be found in the table of integrals.
