The identity $\sin 2A$ equals:

  1. $2\sin A\cos A$, the standard double-angle formula on the chart
  2. $\sin^2 A + \cos^2 A$, equal to $1$ by Pythagorean identity
  3. $2\sin^2 A$, missing the cosine factor in the formula
  4. $\sin A + \cos A$, the simple sum of the trig functions
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. $2\sin A\cos A$, the standard double-angle formula on the chart

Double-angle: $\sin 2A = 2\sin A\cos A$.

The fundamental Pythagorean identity in trigonometry is:

  1. $\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta = 1$
  2. $\tan^2\theta + \cot^2\theta = 1$
  3. $\sin\theta + \cos\theta = 1$
  4. $\sin\theta \cos\theta = 1$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. $\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta = 1$

**The fundamental Pythagorean identity:** sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 (from x² + y² = 1 on unit circle). **Other forms:** 1 + tan²θ = sec²θ; 1 + cot²θ = cosec²θ.

The general solution of sin θ = 1/2 is:

  1. $\theta = \pi/6$ only (principal value)
  2. $\theta = n\pi/6$ for any n
  3. $\theta = 2n\pi + \pi/6$ only
  4. $\theta = n\pi + (-1)^n \pi/6$, n ∈ ℤ
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. $\theta = n\pi + (-1)^n \pi/6$, n ∈ ℤ

General solution for sin θ = sin α: θ = nπ + (-1)^n α, n ∈ ℤ. Here α = π/6, so θ = nπ + (-1)^n (π/6). At n=0: π/6 ✓. At n=1: π − π/6 = 5π/6 ✓.
