Essential Formulas & Mathematical Definitions

sin²θ + cos²θ = 1
1 + tan²θ = sec²θ
1 + cot²θ = cosec²θ
tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

Right Triangle Trigonometric Ratios

For angle θ: sin θ = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse, cos θ = Base/Hypotenuse, tan θ = Perpendicular/Base (SOH CAH TOA).

Standard Trigonometric Values

Values at 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°. sin(30°)=1/2, cos(30°)=√3/2, tan(45°)=1, sin(90°)=1.

High-Yield Exam Strategy & Scoring Tips

Step-by-Step Mark Allocation

Always state the governing principle or formula first, write given values with standard SI units, substitute clearly, and highlight the final numerical answer with units in a box for full step marking.

Common Calculation Traps

Watch for unit prefixes (cm to m, minutes to seconds, g to kg, degrees to radians). In coordinate and ray optics problems, double-check Cartesian sign conventions before computing.
