What are the rules to these trig rules?
Thanks

They are called identities. One of the characteristics of identities is that they apply to all angles x.
The above is not a correct identity, since correctly written, it would be:
cos(x) = cos(-x)
Other identities are
sin²(x)+cos²(x)=1
sin(2A)=2sin(A)cos(A)

Thanks for the prompt reply. How do these work out? The Odd/Even Identities?
sin -x = -sin x
cos -x = cox x
tan -x = -tanx
Why does this work out? Does it apply to certain quadrants or something?
Thanks.
