Must-Know Formulae Before You Start

Recall these cold before attempting MCQs — they appear in >70% of questions.

$sin²θ+cos²θ=1$
$sin(A±B)=sinA cosB ± cosA sinB$
$cos 2A = 1−2sin²A = 2cos²A−1$
$sin C+sin D = 2sin((C+D)/2)cos((C−D)/2)$
$tan(A+B) = (tanA+tanB)/(1−tanA·tanB)$

MCQ Solving Strategy

Never enter a trig MCQ without knowing which quadrant you are in — signs kill marks. For identity-based MCQs, reduce everything to sin and cos first. For equation MCQs, always write the general solution and then check which values fall in the given interval. Time-box trig MCQs at 90 seconds maximum.

⚠ Common Traps & Errors

Difficulty Ladder

Work through each rung in order — do not jump to Hard before mastering Easy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Trigonometrical functions are functions that relate an angle to ratios of sides of a right-angled triangle or to coordinates on the unit circle

Because each angle corresponds to a unique real value of sine, cosine, tangent, etc

An angle measured in radians can take any real value, positive or negative

Radian is the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc equal in length to the radius

There are p radians in 180 degrees

The domain of sin x and cos x is all real numbers

The range is from -1 to 1 inclusive

All real numbers except odd multiples of \(\pi/2\)

Periodicity means the function repeats its values after a fixed interval

The period is \(2\pi\)

The period is \(\pi)

Identities that hold true for all permissible values of \(x\), such as \(\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1\)

Identities that relate trigonometric functions as reciprocals of each other

Identities expressing tan x and cot x as ratios of sine and cosine

Identities derived from the Pythagorean theorem involving sin, cos, and tan
