Sum and Difference Formulae of Trigonometric Ratios
1) sin(a + ß) = sin(a)cos(ß) + cos(a)sin(ß)
2) sin(a – ß) = sin(a)cos(ß) – cos(a)sin(ß)
3) cos(a + ß) = cos(a)cos(ß) – sin(a)sin(ß)
4) cos(a – ß) = cos(a)cos(ß) + sin(a)sin(ß)
5) tan(a + ß) = [tan(a) + tan (ß)]/ [1 - tan(a)tan (ß)]
6)tan(a - ß) = [tan(a) - tan (ß)]/ [1 + tan (a) tan (ß)]
7) tan (π/4 + θ) = (1 + tan θ)/(1 - tan θ)
8) tan (π/4 - θ) = (1 - tan θ)/(1 + tan θ)
9) cot (a + ß) = [cot(a) . cot (ß) - 1]/ [cot (a) +cot (ß)]
10) cot (a - ß) = [cot(a) . cot (ß) + 1]/ [cot (ß) - cot (a)]

For angles A, B and C, we have
1) sin (A + B +C) = sinAcosBcosC + cosAsinBcosC + cosAcosBsinC - sinAsinBsinC
2) cos (A + B +C) = cosAcosBcosC- cosAsinBsinC - sinAcosBsinC - sinAsinBcosC
3) tan (A + B +C) = [tan A + tan B + tan C –tan A tan B tan C]/ [1- tan Atan B - tan B tan C –tan A tan C
4) cot (A + B +C) = [cot A cot B cot C – cotA - cot B - cot C]/ [cot A cot B + cot Bcot C + cot A cotC–1]

Method of solving a trigonometric equation:
1) If possible, reduce the equation in terms of any one variable, preferably x. Then solve the equation as you used to in case of a single variable.
2) Try to derive the linear/algebraic simultaneous equations from the given trigonometric equations and solve them as algebraic simultaneous equations.
3) At times, you might be required to make certain substitutions. It would be beneficial when the system has only two trigonometric functions.

Some results which are useful for solving trigonometric equations:
1) sin θ = sina and cosθ = cosa ⇒ θ = 2nπ + a
2) sin θ = 0 ⇒ θ = nπ
3) cosθ = 0 ⇒ θ = (2n + 1)π/2
4) tan θ = 0 ⇒ θ = nπ
5) sinθ = sina⇒ θ = nπ + (-1)na where a ∈ [–π/2, π/2]
6) cosθ= cos a ⇒ θ = 2nπ ± a, where a ∈[0,π]
7) tanθ = tana⇒ θ = nπ+ a, where a ∈[–π/2, π/2]
8) sinθ = 1 ⇒ θ= (4n + 1)π/2
9) sin θ = -1 ⇒ θ = (4n - 1) π /2
10) sin θ = -1 ⇒ θ = (2n +1) π /2
11) |sinθ| = 1⇒ θ =2nπ
12) cosθ = 1 ⇒ θ =(2n + 1)
13) |cosθ| = 1⇒ θ =nπ

A function f(x) is said to be periodic if there exists some T > 0 such that f(x+T) = f(x) for all x in the domain of f(x).
In case, the T in the definition of period of f(x) is the smallest positive real number then this ‘T’ is called the period of f(x).
Periods of various trigonometric functions are listed below:
1) sin x has period 2π
2) cos x has period 2π
3) tan x has period π
4) sin(ax+b), cos (ax+b), sec(ax+b), cosec (ax+b) all are of period 2π/a
5) tan (ax+b) and cot (ax+b) have π/a as their period
6) |sin (ax+b)|, |cos (ax+b)|, |sec(ax+b)|, |cosec (ax+b)| all are of period π/a
7) |tan (ax+b)| and |cot (ax+b)| have π/2a as their period
