Formula and explanation
Used to simplify trigonometric functions of any angle to those of an acute angle. Core Rules: 1. If the angle is an odd multiple of (π)/(2), the function name changes (sine to cosine, tangent to cotangent, etc.); if it's an even multiple, the function name remains the same. 2. The sign is determined by the sign of the trigonometric function in the original angle's quadrant. Example: sin(π - θ) = sin θ, cos(π + θ) = - cos θ.
