Trigonometric Functions & Identities Questions with Solutions

47 questions16 easy24 medium7 hard

Trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent and their reciprocals) relate the angles of a right triangle to the ratios of its sides, and extend to any angle using the unit circle. This topic covers degree and radian measure, values of trigonometric ratios at standard angles, signs in the four quadrants, and allied angles such as (90 - theta) and (180 + theta). It also covers the main identities: sin^2 + cos^2 = 1 and its variations, compound angle formulas such as sin(A + B), multiple and sub-multiple angle formulas such as sin 2A and cos 2A, and the sum-to-product and product-to-sum formulas. Most questions are about choosing the right identity to simplify an expression or prove an equality, so learning these formulas thoroughly pays off. Practise the trigonometric functions and identities questions below, each with a step-by-step solution.
