1. Fundamental Trigonometric Identities | 三角函数基本恒等式
damental. From this, we derive 1 + tan²θ = sec²θ and 1 + cot²θ = cosec²θ by dividing through by cos²θ and sin²θ respectively. Additionally, the quotient identities tanθ = sinθ/cosθ and cotθ = cosθ/sinθ are used constantly when simplifying rational expressions. These identities must be memorised and recognised in both their standard and rearranged forms, such as sin²θ = 1 – cos²θ or sec²θ – 1 = tan²θ.
Edexcel A-Level 数学中所有三角运算都建立在一组核心恒等式之上。最基本的是勾股恒等式 sin²θ + cos²θ = 1。通过除以 cos²θ 或 sin²θ，可推导出 1 + tan²θ = sec²θ 和 1 + cot²θ = cosec²θ。此外，商数恒等式 tanθ = sinθ/cosθ 和 cotθ = cosθ/sinθ 常用来化简分式。考生必须熟记这些恒等式，并能灵活识别它们的变体，例如 sin²θ = 1 – cos²θ 或 sec²θ – 1 = tan²θ。
2. Compound Angle Formulas | 和角公式
s of angles. They are given by: sin(A ± B) = sinA cosB ± cosA sinB, cos(A ± B) = cosA cosB ∓ sinA sinB, and tan(A ± B) = (tanA ± tanB) / (1 ∓ ngles, such as 15°, 75°, or 105°, and for simplifying expressions like sin(x+60°) or cos(θ – π/3) when solving equations.
和角公式可用来求两个角度和或差的正弦、余弦和正切值。具体为：sin(A ± B) = sinA cosB ± cosA sinB；cos(A ± B) = cosA cosB ∓ sinA sinB；tan(A ± B) = (tanA ± tanB) / (1 ∓ tanA tanB)。这些公式在推导非特殊角（如 15°、75°、105°）的精确三角函数值，以及化简诸如 sin(x+60°) 或 cos(θ – π/3) 等表达式时必不可少，尤其在解方程时经常用到。
3. Double-Angle Formulas and Their Variations | 倍角公式及其变体
gives the double-angle formulas. The most important are sin2A = 2sinA cosA, cos2A = cos²A – sin²A, and tan2A = 2tanA / (1 – tan²A). For cosine, Edexcel often expects you to use the alternative forms cos2A = 2cos²A – 1 and cos2A = 1 – 2sin²A, which are obtained by substituting sin²A = 1 – cos²A or cos²A = 1 – or reducing powers in an equation, turning a cos2A term into a quadratic in sinA or cosA.
在和角公式中令 A = B，即可得到倍角公式。最重要的有 sin2A = 2sinA cosA，cos2A = cos²A – sin²A，以及 tan2A = 2tanA / (1 – tan²A)。对于余弦，Edexcel 常要求使用变体 cos2A = 2cos²A – 1 和 cos2A = 1 – 2sin²A，它们是通过代入 sin²A = 1 – cos²A 或 cos²A = 1 – sin²A 得到的。这些变形在处理三角函数积分或降低方程次数时非常有效，能将 cos2A 转化为含 sinA 或 cosA 的二次式。
4. Simplifying Trigonometric Expressions | 化简三角函数表达式
θ + cosθ)² = 1 + sin2θ. To do this, expand the bracket to sin²θ + 2sinθ cosθ + cos²θ, then replace sin²θ + cos²θ with 1 and 2sinθ cosθ with sin2θ. Another common simplification is rewriting 1/cosθ – cosθ as tanθ sinθ. Here, combine the terms over a common denominator cosθ to obtain (1 – osθ) = sinθ tanθ. Always show every algebraic step and state which identity you are using.
试卷通常要求先利用恒等式化简表达式。常见题型如证明 (sinθ + cosθ)² = 1 + sin2θ。只需展开括号得 sin²θ + 2sinθ cosθ + cos²θ，然后用 1 替换 sin²θ + cos²θ，用 sin2θ 替换 2sinθ cosθ。另一类常考化简是将 1/cosθ – cosθ 写成 tanθ sinθ。这一步可通分：分子为 1 – cos²θ，分母为 cosθ，得到 sin²θ/cosθ = sinθ·(sinθ/cosθ) = sinθ tanθ。解题时务必展示每一步代数变形，并注明所使用的恒等式。
5. Solving Basic Trigonometric Equations | 解基本三角方程
Then, because sine is positive in the first and second quadrants, the second solution is π – ivide by 2 to obtain the solutions for θ. Always adjust the interval when the variable is multiplied by a constant, and remember that adding 2π to the principal solution generates further answers until the interval is exhausted.
在 0 ≤ x ≤ 2π 内求解 sinx = 0.5 这类方程时，先用反正弦求得主值 x = π/6。由于正弦在第一和第二象限为正，第二个解为 π – π/6 = 5π/6。若方程含倍角，如 cos2θ = 0.5，则先将间隔放大至 0 ≤ 2θ ≤ 4π，解得 2θ = π/3 和 2θ = 5π/3，再除以 2 得到 θ 的解。变量乘以常数时，务必调整区间，并记住在主值上加 2π 可循环得到全部解，直至超出给定区间。
6. Equations Involving Quadratics in sin or cos | 含正弦或余弦二次式的方程
Many trigonometric equations are disguised quadratics. For example, 2cos²x – 3cosx + 1 = 0 can be treated as a quadratic in cosx. Factorising gives (2cosx – 1)(cosx – osx = 1. Similarly, an equation like 3sin²θ = 2cosθ + 3 can be transformed using sin²θ = 1 – e. Always check that solutions fall within the valid range of cosine or sine, i.e. between –1 and 1, discarding any extraneous values.
许多三角方程是二次型的伪装。例如 2cos²x – 3cosx + 1 = 0 可看作关于 cosx 的二次方程。因式分解得 (2cosx – 1)(cosx – 1) = 0，从而 cosx = ½ 或 cosx = 1。又如方程 3sin²θ = 2cosθ + 3，可利用 sin²θ = 1 – cos²θ 转化为 cosθ 的二次式。整理后解出 cosθ，再求出指定范围内的所有角。注意检验解是否满足正弦或余弦的值域[–1,1]，舍去增根。
7. Using R cos(θ ± α) and R sin(θ ± α) | 利用 R cos(θ ± α) 和 R sin(θ ± α) 化简
ires you to express a combination like a sinθ + b cosθ in the form R sin(θ + α), where R = √a² + b² and tanα = b/a. For example, to write 3sinθ + 4cosθ as R sin(θ + α), compute R = √3² + 4² ≈ 53.13°. This form makes it extremely easy to find the maximum and minimum values (R and –R) or to solve equations. Similarly, a cosθ – (θ + α). Mastery of this technique is vital for modelling oscillations and wave functions.
Edexcel 常要求将 a sinθ + b cosθ 的组合表达为 R sin(θ + α) 的形式，其中 R = √a² + b²，tanα = b/a。例如将 3sinθ + 4cosθ 化为 R sin(θ + α)，计算得 R = 5，α = arctan(4/3) ≈ 53.13°。这种形式极有利于求最值（最大值 R，最小值 –R）或解方程。类似地，a cosθ – b sinθ 可改写为 R cos(θ + α)。熟练掌握该技巧对建立振动和波函数模型至关重要。
8. Solving Equations with the R-Form | 用 R 形式解方程
d the principal value of θ + 53.13°, then adjust for the interval. Suppose 0 ≤ θ ≤ 360°. Then the range for θ + 53.13° is 53.13° to 413.13°, and the solutions for θ + 53.13° are arcsin(0.6) and 180° – are roughly 36.87° and 143.13°. Finally, subtract 53.13° to obtain θ, giving approximately – ng 360° to the negative root yields 343.74°, so the solutions are 90° and 343.7° (1 d.p.).
一旦表达式化为 R sin(θ + α) = c 的形式，求解就变得简单。对于 5 sin(θ + 53.13°) = 3，两边同除以 5 得 sin(θ + 53.13°) = 0.6。先求出 θ + 53.13° 的主值，再依据区间调整。设 0 ≤ θ ≤ 360°，则 θ + 53.13° 的范围为 53.13° 到 413.13°，解得 θ + 53.13° 为 arcsin(0.6) 和 180° – arcsin(0.6)，即约 36.87° 和 143.13°。最后减去 53.13° 得到 θ ≈ –16.26°（无效）和 90°。给负根加上 360° 得 343.74°，最终解为 90° 和 343.7°（精确至一位小数）。
9. Proving Trigonometric Identities | 证明三角恒等式
Proof questions test your algebraic fluency. A typical request is to prove that (1 – cos2θ)/sin2θ = tanθ. Start with the left-hand side. Replace cos2θ with 1 – 2sin²θ and sin2θ with 2sinθ cosθ. The numerator becomes 1 – (1 – implifies to (2sin²θ)/(2sinθ cosθ) = sinθ/cosθ = tanθ. Another common proof involves sec²θ – one side toward the other, and never move terms across the equals sign unless instructed.
证明题考验代数演算的熟练程度。典型题目如证明 (1 – cos2θ)/sin2θ = tanθ。可从左边入手：将 cos2θ 换成 1 – 2sin²θ，sin2θ 换成 2sinθ cosθ。分子变为 1 – (1 – 2sin²θ) = 2sin²θ，分式化简为 (2sin²θ)/(2sinθ cosθ) = sinθ/cosθ = tanθ。另一个常见证明是 sec²θ – tan²θ = 1，它直接源于勾股恒等式。证明时务必从等式一端出发向另一端推导，除非题目要求，否则不要移项。
10. Handling Degrees and Radians | 角度制与弧度制的处理
e interval is given as 0 ≤ x ≤ 360, you are in degrees; when given as 0 ≤ x ≤ 2π, use radians. The exact values of trigonometric functions for key angles must be known in both measures. For instance, sin(π/6) = 0.5 is equivalent to sin30° = 0.5. Switching between units is especially important when differentiating or integrating trigonometric functions, where calculus formulas only work with radian measure. Keep your calculator in the correct mode to avoid costly errors.
Edexcel 考试要求熟练运用角度制和弧度制。务须仔细审题，明确指定单位。若区间为 0 ≤ x ≤ 360，则使用度；若为 0 ≤ x ≤ 2π，则使用弧度。必须掌握关键角的精确三角函数值，并能在两种度量间转换。例如 sin(π/6) = 0.5 等价于 sin30° = 0.5。单位转换在求导和积分时尤为重要，因为微积分公式仅在弧度制下成立。计算器模式设置正确可避免不必要的失分。
11. Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them | 常见错误与规避方法
One frequent mistake is forgetting to consider all quadrants when solving for angles. Sine is positive in the first and second quadrants, cosine in the first and fourth, and tangent in the first and third. A sketch of the unit circle or a CAST diagram helps visualise this. Another error is mishandling multiple-angle equations; students often solve for θ directly without expanding the interval. Also, when squaring both sides of an equation, always check for extraneous solutions by substituting back into the original equation. Finally, remember that tanθ is undefined at odd multiples of 90° (or π/2), so solutions leading to these values must be excluded.
常见错误之一是在解方程时遗漏其他象限的解。正弦在第一、二象限为正，余弦在第一、四象限为正，正切在第一、三象限为正。绘制单位圆草图或使用 CAST 图有助于直观判断。另一个错误是处理倍角方程时，直接求解 θ 而忘记放大区间。此外，对方程两边进行平方运算后，务必代回原方程检验增根。最后，切记 tanθ 在 90° 的奇数倍（或 π/2 的奇数倍）处无定义，因此若解中出现这些角度必须舍去。
