The important formulas for the Mathematics Trigonometry section is as follows:-
Basic Trigonometric Function Formulas
- sin θ = Opposite Side/Hypotenuse
- cos θ = Adjacent Side/Hypotenuse
- tan θ = Opposite Side/Adjacent Side
- sec θ = Hypotenuse/Adjacent Side
- cosec θ = Hypotenuse/Opposite Side
- cot θ = Adjacent Side/Opposite Side
Reciprocal Identities
- cosec θ = 1/sin θ
- sec θ = 1/cos θ
- cot θ = 1/tan θ
- sin θ = 1/cosec θ
- cos θ = 1/sec θ
- tan θ = 1/cot θ
Periodicity Identities (in Radians)
- sin (π/2 – A) = cos A & cos (π/2 – A) = sin A
- sin (π/2 + A) = cos A & cos (π/2 + A) = – sin A
- sin (3π/2 – A) = – cos A & cos (3π/2 – A) = – sin A
- sin (3π/2 + A) = – cos A & cos (3π/2 + A) = sin A
- sin (π – A) = sin A & cos (π – A) = – cos A
- sin (π + A) = – sin A & cos (π + A) = – cos A
- sin (2π – A) = – sin A & cos (2π – A) = cos A
- sin (2π + A) = sin A & cos (2π + A) = cos A
Cofunction Identities (in Degrees)
- sin(90°−x) = cos x
- cos(90°−x) = sin x
- tan(90°−x) = cot x
- cot(90°−x) = tan x
- sec(90°−x) = cosec x
- cosec(90°−x) = sec x
Sum & Difference Identities
- sin(x+y) = sin(x)cos(y)+cos(x)sin(y)
- cos(x+y) = cos(x)cos(y)–sin(x)sin(y)
- sin(x–y) = sin(x)cos(y)–cos(x)sin(y)
- cos(x–y) = cos(x)cos(y) + sin(x)sin(y)
Inverse Trigonometry Formulas
- sin-1 (–x) = – sin-1 x
- cos-1 (–x) = π – cos-1 x
- tan-1 (–x) = – tan-1 x
- cosec-1 (–x) = – cosec-1 x
- sec-1 (–x) = π – sec-1 x
- cot-1 (–x) = π – cot-1 x
Yes, the JEE Main question paper for all shifts is different in order to prevent the leaking of questions. However, the authorities try to maintain the difficulty level across the slots.
JEE Main question paper will be available in online mode after exam concludes on the official website. Moreover, the exam will also be conducted in online mode.
Hey Ali! As per previous year trends, a score of 150 + in General category may put you in the 96-97 percentile. Although, these are subject to change.
