TRIGCOS
Simplify using the cosines
TRIGCOS has as an argument a trigonometric
expression.
TRIGCOS simplifies this expression, using the identity
sin(x)
2
+cos(x)
2
= 1 to rewrite it in terms of cosines.
Typing:
TRIGCOS(SIN(X)
4
+ COS(X)
2
+ 1)
gives:
TRIGSIN
Simplify using the sines
TRIGSIN has as an argument a trigonometric expression.
TRIGSIN simplifies this expression, using the identity
sin(x)
2
+ cos(x)
2
= 1 to rewrite it in terms of sines.
Typing:
TRIGSIN(SIN(X)
4
+ COS(X)
2
+ 1)
gives:
TRIGTAN
Simplify using the tangents
TRIGTAN has as an argument a trigonometric expression.
TRIGTAN simplifies this expression, using the identity
sin(x)
2
+ cos(x)
2
= 1 to rewrite it in terms of tangents.
Typing:
TRIGTAN(SIN(X)
4
+ COS(X)
2
+ 1)
gives:
