Trigonometric identities are used to manipulate trig equations in certain ways. Here is a list of them:

$\displaystyle \sin^2x + \cos^2x = 1$
$\displaystyle 1 + \cot^2x = \csc^2x$
$\displaystyle \tan^2x + 1 = \sec^2x$
$|1-e^{i\theta}|=2\sin\frac{\theta}{2}$

This page is incomplete--if you know of a trigonometric identity, add it.
