What are Trigonometric Functions?
Trigonometric Functions also known as circular functions are mathematical functions of an angle. They are used to connect the ratios of the triangle's sides to the angles of a right triangle.
Identities- An identity is an equation which for no matter what value you put in for your input there going to be equal.
Reciprocal Identitity
Quotient Identity
Pythagorean Identity
sin^2(θ)+cos^2(θ)=1
Customary notation
1+cot^2θ=csc^2θ
(sin θ)^2+ (cosθ)^2=1
Commutative Property of Addition
tan^2θ+1=sec^2θ
(cosθ)^2+(sinθ)^2=1
Substitute trigonometric function values for x and y
Even Odd Properties-
Even properties state that a function is even if f(-θ)=f(θ)
and f is odd if f(-θ)= -f(θ)

Inverse Fucntions
Inverses of the six trigonometric are formally known as
inverse or arc trigonometric functions. These functions are used to find angles based on the ratio of sides of a right triangle. Also they are used to solve equations.
