A Maths Tuition: Trigonometry Formulas

Many students find Trigonometry in A Maths challenging.

This is a list of Trigonometry Formulas that I compiled for A Maths. Students in my A Maths tuition class will get a copy of this, neatly formatted into one A4 size page for easy viewing.

A Maths: Trigonometry Formulas

$\mathit{cosec}x=\frac{1}{\sin x}$ ; $\mathit{sec}x=\frac{1}{\cos x}$

$\cot x=\frac{1}{\tan x}$ ; $\tan x=\frac{\sin x}{\cos x}$

(All Science Teachers Crazy)

$y=\sin x$

$y=\cos x$

$y=\tan x$

$\frac{d}{\mathit{dx}}(\sin x)=\cos x$

$\frac{d}{\mathit{dx}}(\cos x)=-\sin x$

$\frac{d}{\mathit{dx}}(\tan x)=\mathit{sec}^{2}x$

$\int {\sin x\mathit{dx}}=-\cos x+c$

$\int \cos x\mathit{dx}=\sin x+c$

$\int \mathit{sec}^{2}x\mathit{dx}=\tan x+c$

Special Angles:

$\cos 45^\circ=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\cos 60^\circ=\frac{1}{2}$

$\cos 30^\circ=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$\sin 45^\circ=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\sin 60^\circ=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$\sin 30^\circ=\frac{1}{2}$

$\tan 45^\circ=1$

$\tan 60^\circ=\sqrt{3}$

$\tan 30^\circ=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

$y=a\sin (\mathit{bx})+c$ Amplitude: $a$ ; Period: $\frac{2\pi }{b}$

$y=a\cos (\mathit{bx})+c$ Amplitude: $a$ ; Period: $\frac{2\pi }{b}$

$y=a\tan (\mathit{bx})+c$ Period: $\frac{\pi }{b}$

$\pi \mathit{rad}=180^\circ$

Area of $\triangle \mathit{ABC}=\frac{1}{2}\mathit{ab}\sin C$

Sine Rule: $\frac{a}{\sin A}=\frac{b}{\sin B}=\frac{c}{\sin C}$

Cosine Rule: $c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}-2\mathit{ab}\cos C$

What about the memory trick of the famous
Cos 3A = ?

It is good to remember the few common trigonometry formulas. We learned them by heart since Sec 3, they stay in the memory to university and working life, becoming handy when you need them any time (without the calculator or formula handbook)
