All three functions, $F$ , $G$ , and $H$ , are even.

This is because $F (- x) = \sin (- x) \sin (- x) = (- \sin x) (- \sin x) = \sin^{2} x = F (x)$ , $G (- x) = \cos (- x) \cos (- x) = \cos x \cos x = \cos^{2} x = G (x)$ and $H (- x) = \tan (- x) \tan (- x) = (- \tan x) (- \tan x) = \tan^{2} x = H (x) .$

9.2 Section Exercises

The cofunction identities apply to complementary angles. Viewing the two acute angles of a right triangle, if one of those angles measures $x,$ the second angle measures $\frac{π}{2} - x .$ Then $\sin x = \cos (\frac{π}{2} - x) .$ The same holds for the other cofunction identities. The key is that the angles are complementary.

$\sin (- x) = - \sin x,$ so $\sin x$ is odd. $\cos (- x) = \cos (0 - x) = \cos x,$ so $\cos x$ is even.

Answers will vary. There are some equations that involve a sum of two trig expressions where when converted to a product are easier to solve. For example: $\frac{\sin (3 x) + \sin x}{\cos x} = 1.$ When converting the numerator to a product the equation becomes: $\frac{2 \sin (2 x) \cos x}{\cos x} = 1$

Start with $\cos x + \cos y .$ Make a substitution and let $x = α + β$ and let $y = α - β,$ so $\cos x + \cos y$ becomes $\begin{array}{l} \cos (α + β) + \cos (α - β) = \cos α \cos β - \sin α \sin β + \cos α \cos β + \sin α \sin β = \\ 2 \cos α \cos β \end{array}$

Since $x = α + β$ and $y = α - β,$ we can solve for $α$ and $β$ in terms of x and y and substitute in for $2 \cos α \cos β$ and get $2 \cos (\frac{x + y}{2}) \cos (\frac{x - y}{2}) .$

9.5 Section Exercises

There will not always be solutions to trigonometric function equations. For a basic example, $\cos (x) = −5.$

If the sine or cosine function has a coefficient of one, isolate the term on one side of the equals sign. If the number it is set equal to has an absolute value less than or equal to one, the equation has solutions, otherwise it does not. If the sine or cosine does not have a coefficient equal to one, still isolate the term but then divide both sides of the equation by the leading coefficient. Then, if the number it is set equal to has an absolute value greater than one, the equation has no solution.
