Which identity equals cos(2θ)?\cos(2\theta)\textsf{?}

One form of the double-angle identity is cos(2θ)=cos2θsin2θ.\cos(2\theta) = \cos^{2}\theta - \sin^{2}\theta\textsf{.}

Which is the Pythagorean identity?

The fundamental Pythagorean identity is sin2θ+cos2θ=1.\sin^{2}\theta + \cos^{2}\theta = 1\textsf{.}

If sinθ=35\sin\theta = \dfrac{3}{5} and cosθ=45,\cos\theta = \dfrac{4}{5}\textsf{,} what is tanθ?\tan\theta\textsf{?}

tanθ=sinθcosθ=3/54/5=34.\tan\theta = \dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta} = \dfrac{3/5}{4/5} = \dfrac{3}{4}\textsf{.}

Which identity equals 1+tan2θ?1 + \tan^{2}\theta\textsf{?}

The Pythagorean identity is 1+tan2θ=sec2θ.1 + \tan^{2}\theta = \sec^{2}\theta\textsf{.}
