One form of the double-angle formula for cosine is cos2θ = 1 - 2 sin²θ. This identity is valuable for transforming and simplifying trigonometric expressions.
Fill in the blank: tan2θ = __ ?
tanθ/(2(1 - tan²θ))
2tanθ/(1 - tan²θ)
tanθ(2tanθ)
2tanθ
The double-angle formula for tangent is given by tan2θ = (2tanθ)/(1 - tan²θ). This formula expresses the tangent of a double angle in terms of the tangent of a single angle.
Fill in the blank: sinθ/cosθ is equivalent to __ ?

csc²θ
This identity is a rearrangement of the Pythagorean identities. Adding cot²θ to 1 gives csc²θ, reinforcing the reciprocal relationships among trigonometric functions.
Fill in the blank: Which trigonometric function is defined as the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the hypotenuse?
secant
sine
tangent
cosine
Sine is defined as the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle. This is one of the basic definitions in trigonometry.
Fill in the blank: sinθ cosθ can be rewritten as __ ?
sin2θ
½ sin2θ
2 sin2θ
cos2θ
Using the double-angle identity for sine, sin2θ equals 2 sinθ cosθ, so sinθ cosθ is half of sin2θ. This conversion is useful in simplifying trigonometric expressions.
Fill in the blank: In the formula sin(α + β) = sinα cosβ + cosα sinβ, the term that multiplies sinα is __ ?
cosβ
cosα
sinβ
tanβ
In the angle sum formula for sine, sinα is multiplied by cosβ. Recognizing this component is key to understanding the complete expansion of sin(α + β).
Fill in the blank: sinθ + cosθ = √2 · sin(θ + __ )
90°
60°
30°
45°
The identity shows that sinθ + cosθ can be expressed as √2 times sin(θ + 45°). This transformation simplifies the sum of sine and cosine into a single trigonometric function.
Fill in the blank: If sinθ = 2cosθ, then tanθ = __ ?
√2
½
1
2
Dividing both sides of the equation sinθ = 2cosθ by cosθ gives tanθ = 2. This problem tests the understanding of the relationship between sine, cosine, and tangent.
Fill in the blank: Which half-angle formula is correct for tan(θ/2)?
(1 - cosθ)/sinθ
sinθ/(1 + cosθ)
1 - sinθ/(1 + cosθ)
cosθ/(1 + sinθ)
The half-angle formula for tangent can be expressed as tan(θ/2) = sinθ/(1 + cosθ). Understanding half-angle identities is crucial for solving trigonometric equations.
Fill in the blank: csc²θ âˆ' cot²θ = __ ?
cos²θ
tan²θ
1
sin²θ
This identity is derived from the Pythagorean identities and shows that the difference between csc²θ and cot²θ is always 1. It is an important relation in trigonometry.
Fill in the blank: In the identity 1 + tan²θ = sec²θ, if tanθ = 3/4, then secθ = __ ?
5/4
3/4
5/3
4/5
Substituting tan²θ = 9/16 into the identity yields sec²θ = 1 + 9/16 = 25/16, so secθ equals the square root of 25/16, which is 5/4. This problem requires applying a trigonometric identity to compute the value of secθ.
