<h2>Product Identities</h2>
|

|

<p>The hexagon also shows that a function <b>between</b> any two functions is equal to them multiplied together
|

(if they are opposite each other, then the "1" is between them):</p>

</ul>
|

<h2>But Wait, There is More!</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>You can also get the "Reciprocal Identities", by going "through the 1"</p>
|
||
|
||
<table style="border: 0; margin:auto;">
|

<tbody>
|

|

<p>Here is the full set:</p>
|

<ul>
|

<li>sin(x) = 1 / csc(x)</li>
|
||
<li>cos(x) = 1 / sec(x)</li>

<li>cot(x) = 1 / tan(x)</li>

<li>sec(x) = 1 / cos(x)</li>
|
||
<li>tan(x) = 1 / cot(x)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<h2>Bonus!</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>AND we also get these co-function identities:</p>
|
||
<p style="float:left; margin: 0 20px 5px 0;"><img src="images/magic-hexagon-cofunc-deg.svg" alt="magic hexagon sin(x) = cos(90-x), tan(x) = cot(90-x), sec(x) = csc(90-x), " height="118" width="300"></p>
|
||
<p>Examples:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>sin(30°) = cos(60°)</li>
|
||
<li>tan(80°) = cot(10°)</li>
|
||
<li>sec(40°) = csc(50°)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<div style="clear:both"></div>
|
||
<p><br></p>
|
||
<p>Or, if you prefer, in <a href="../geometry/radians.html">radians</a>:</p>

||
<p style="float:left; margin: 0 20px 5px 0;"><img src="images/magic-hexagon-cofunc-rad.svg" alt="magic hexagon sin(x) = cos(pi/2-x), tan(x) = cot(pi/2-x), sec(x) = csc(pi/2-x), " height="118" width="296"></p>
|
||
<p>Examples:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>sin(0.1<span class="times">π</span>) = cos(0.4<span class="times">π</span>)</li>
|
||
<li>tan(<span class="times">π</span>/4) = cot(<span class="times">π</span>/4)</li>
|
||
<li>sec(<span class="times">π</span>/3) = csc(<span class="times">π</span>/6)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<div style="clear:both"></div>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<h2>Double Bonus: The Pythagorean Identities</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>The <a href="../geometry/unit-circle.html">Unit Circle</a> shows us that</p>
|
||
<p class="center"><b>sin<sup>2 </sup>x + cos<sup>2</sup> x = 1</b></p>
|
||
<p>The magic hexagon can help us remember that, too, by going clockwise around any of these three triangles:</p>
|
||
<p class="center"><img src="images/magic-hexagon-5.svg" alt="magic hexagon sin^2(x) + cos^2(x)=1" height="" width=""></p>
|
||
<p>And we have:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>sin<sup>2</sup>(x) + cos<sup>2</sup>(x) = 1</li>
|
||
<li>1 + cot<sup>2</sup>(x) = csc<sup>2</sup>(x)</li>
|
||
<li>tan<sup>2</sup>(x) + 1 = sec<sup>2</sup>(x)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<div style="clear:both"></div>
|
||
<p>You can also travel counterclockwise around a triangle, for example:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>1 − cos<sup>2</sup>(x) = sin<sup>2</sup>(x)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<h2>Triple Bonus: Quadrants Positive</h2>
|
||
<p>It can also help us remember which <a href="trig-four-quadrants.html">quadrants</a> each function is positive in.</p>
|
||
<p class="center" style="vertical-align:middle;"><img src="images/trig-graph-quadrants.svg" style="vertical-align:middle;" alt="trig graph 4 quadrants" height="" width="">
|
||
<img src="images/magic-hexagon-quads.svg" style="vertical-align:middle;" alt="magic hexagon quadrants positive" height="" width=""></p>
|
||
|
||
<p><br></p>
|
||
<p class="larger center">I hope this helps you!</p>
