Trigonometry Formulas for FAST Entry Test

1. Basic Trigonometric Ratios

sin(theta) = Opposite / Hypotenuse

cos(theta) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

tan(theta) = Opposite / Adjacent

csc(theta) = 1 / sin(theta)

sec(theta) = 1 / cos(theta)

cot(theta) = 1 / tan(theta)

2. Pythagorean Identities

sin^2(theta) + cos^2(theta) = 1

1 + tan^2(theta) = sec^2(theta)

1 + cot^2(theta) = csc^2(theta)

3. Trigonometric Values of Standard Angles

Angle sin cos tan

0 0 1 0

30 1/2 sqrt(3)/2 1/sqrt(3)

45 sqrt(2)/2 sqrt(2)/2 1

60 sqrt(3)/2 1/2 sqrt(3)

90 1 0 undefined

4. Cofunction Identities

sin(90 - theta) = cos(theta)

cos(90 - theta) = sin(theta)

tan(90 - theta) = cot(theta)

5. Angle Sum and Difference Formulas

sin(A +/- B) = sinA*cosB +/- cosA*sinB

cos(A +/- B) = cosA*cosB -/+ sinA*sinB

tan(A +/- B) = (tanA +/- tanB) / (1 -/+ tanA*tanB)

6. Double Angle Formulas

sin(2A) = 2*sinA*cosA

cos(2A) = cos^2A - sin^2A = 2*cos^2A - 1 = 1 - 2*sin^2A

tan(2A) = (2*tanA) / (1 - tan^2A)

7. Half Angle Formulas

sin^2(A/2) = (1 - cosA) / 2

cos^2(A/2) = (1 + cosA) / 2

8. Trigonometric Equation Basics

If sinx = siny then x = n*pi + (-1)^n * y

If cosx = cosy then x = 2n*pi +/- y

If tanx = tany then x = n*pi + y

9. CAST Rule

C - Cosine is positive in 4th quadrant

A - All are positive in 1st quadrant

S - Sine is positive in 2nd quadrant

T - Tangent is positive in 3rd quadrant
