sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
1 + tan2θ = sec2θ
1 + cot2θ = csc2θ

Evens & Odds

Even
f(-x ) = f(x) | Cos & Sec

f(-x ) = -f(x) | Sin Tan Csc Cot
 

Supple­mentary & Comple­mentary Angles

Supple­mentary Angles
Add to 180°
Comple­mentary Angles
Add to 90°

Coterminal Angles

θ±360º
θ±2π

Quadrantal Angles

 
45° or (π/4) ∴ y=x
x2 + y2 = 1
x2 + x2 = 1
2x2 = 1
x2 = 1/2
x = ± 1/√2
in Q1 x = 1/√2

cos & sin = 1/√2√2/√2 = √2/2
