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
