2. IMPORTANT T RATIOS:
(a) sin n = 0 ; cos n = (-1)n ; tan n = 0 where n I
(2n 1) (2n 1)

3. TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS OF ALLIED ANGLES :
If is any angle, then , 90 ± , 180 ± , 270 ± , 360 ± etc. are called ALLIED ANGLES.
(a) sin ( ) = sin ; cos ( ) = cos
(b) sin (90°- ) = cos ; cos (90° ) = sin
(c) sin (90°+ ) = cos ; cos (90°+ ) = sin
(d) sin (180° ) = sin ; cos (180° ) = cos
(e) sin (180°+ ) = sin ; cos (180°+ ) = cos
(f) sin (270° ) = cos ; cos (270° ) = sin
(g) sin (270°+ ) = cos ; cos (270°+ ) = sin
(a) 2 sinA cosB = sin(A+B) + sin(AB) (b) 2 cosA sinB = sin(A+B) sin(AB)
(c) 2 cosA cosB = cos(A+B) + cos(AB) (d) 2 sinA sinB = cos(AB) cos(A+B)
NOTE IF : (i) A+B+C = then tanA + tanB + tanC = tanA tanB tanC
(ii) A+B+C = then tanA tanB + tanB tanC + tanC tanA = 1

(b) If A + B + C = then : (i) sin2A + sin2B + sin2C = 4 sinA sinB sinC
A B C
(ii) sinA + sinB + sinC = 4 cos cos cos
