6-5: Basic Trigonometric
Identities
© 2007 Roy L. Gover (www.mrgover.com)
Learning Goals:
•Develop the basic trig
identities
•Simplify trig expressions
Definition
A trigonometric identity is a
statement of equality
between two expressions.
It means one expression
can be used in place of the
other.
A list of the basic identities
can be found on p.460 of
your text.
