factor formulae
Eg. sinP+sinQ=2sin1/2(P+Q)cos1/2(P-Q)
R-formulae
eg. Acosx+Bsinx=Rcos(x-alpha) R= ((squareroot)A^2+b^2) tan(alpha)=B/A
double angle formulae
eg. sin2A=2sinAcosA cos2A=cos^2A-sin^2A tan2A=2tanA/1-tan^2A
addition formulae
eg. sin(A+B)=sinAcosB+cosAsinB

Simple trigo identies&eqns

proving identies
To prove a identity, we usually start with the side that is more complex looking and simplify the other side
basic identies
eg. sin^2x+cos^2x=1 secx=1/cosx cosecx=1/sinx cotx=1/tanx
