在数学中，三角恒等式是对出现的所有值都为實变量，涉及到三角函数的等式。这些恒等式在表达式中有些三角函数需要简化的时候是很有用的。一个重要应用是非三角函数的积分：一个常用技巧是首先使用使用三角函数的代换规则，则通过三角恒等式可简化结果的积分。

为了避免由于${\displaystyle \sin ^{-1}x}$的不同意思所带来的混淆，我們經常用下列兩個表格來表示三角函数的倒数和反函数。另外在表示余割函数時，'${\displaystyle \csc }$'有时會寫成比較长的'${\displaystyle \mathrm {cosec} }$'。

通過檢視單位圓，可確立三角函數的下列性質，這些性質也被稱為誘導公式：

當三角函数反射自某个特定的${\displaystyle \theta }$值，結果經常是另一个其他三角函數。這導致了下列恆等式：

反射於${\displaystyle \theta =0}$	反射於${\displaystyle \theta ={\tfrac {\pi }{4}}}$	反射於${\displaystyle \theta ={\tfrac {\pi }{2}}}$	反射於${\displaystyle \theta ={\tfrac {3\pi }{4}}}$
${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\sin(0-\theta )&=-\sin \theta \\\cos(0-\theta )&=+\cos \theta \\\tan(0-\theta )&=-\tan \theta \\\cot(0-\theta )&=-\cot \theta \\\sec(0-\theta )&=+\sec \theta \\\csc(0-\theta )&=-\csc \theta \end{aligned}}}$	${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\sin({\tfrac {\pi }{2}}-\theta )&=+\cos \theta \\\cos({\tfrac {\pi }{2}}-\theta )&=+\sin \theta \\\tan({\tfrac {\pi }{2}}-\theta )&=+\cot \theta \\\cot({\tfrac {\pi }{2}}-\theta )&=+\tan \theta \\\sec({\tfrac {\pi }{2}}-\theta )&=+\csc \theta \\\csc({\tfrac {\pi }{2}}-\theta )&=+\sec \theta \end{aligned}}}$	${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\sin(\pi -\theta )&=+\sin \theta \\\cos(\pi -\theta )&=-\cos \theta \\\tan(\pi -\theta )&=-\tan \theta \\\cot(\pi -\theta )&=-\cot \theta \\\sec(\pi -\theta )&=-\sec \theta \\\csc(\pi -\theta )&=+\csc \theta \end{aligned}}}$	${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\sin({\tfrac {3\pi }{2}}-\theta )&=-\cos \theta \\\cos({\tfrac {3\pi }{2}}-\theta )&=-\sin \theta \\\tan({\tfrac {3\pi }{2}}-\theta )&=+\cot \theta \\\cot({\tfrac {3\pi }{2}}-\theta )&=+\tan \theta \\\sec({\tfrac {3\pi }{2}}-\theta )&=-\csc \theta \\\csc({\tfrac {3\pi }{2}}-\theta )&=-\sec \theta \end{aligned}}}$

通過旋轉特定角度移位三角函數，經常可以找到更簡單的表達结果的不同的三角函數。例如通過旋轉${\displaystyle {\tfrac {\pi }{2}}}$、${\displaystyle \pi }$和${\displaystyle 2\pi }$弧度移位函數。因爲這些函數的周期要麼是${\displaystyle \pi }$要麼是${\displaystyle 2\pi }$，所以新函數和沒有移位的舊函數完全一樣。

移位${\displaystyle {\tfrac {\pi }{2}}}$	移位${\displaystyle \pi }$	移位${\displaystyle {\tfrac {3\pi }{2}}}$	移位${\displaystyle 2\pi }$
	${\displaystyle \tan }$和${\displaystyle \cot }$的周期		${\displaystyle \sin }$, ${\displaystyle \cos }$, ${\displaystyle \csc }$和${\displaystyle \sec }$的周期
${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\sin(\theta +{\tfrac {\pi }{2}})&=+\cos \theta \\\cos(\theta +{\tfrac {\pi }{2}})&=-\sin \theta \\\tan(\theta +{\tfrac {\pi }{2}})&=-\cot \theta \\\cot(\theta +{\tfrac {\pi }{2}})&=-\tan \theta \\\sec(\theta +{\tfrac {\pi }{2}})&=-\csc \theta \\\csc(\theta +{\tfrac {\pi }{2}})&=+\sec \theta \end{aligned}}}$	${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\sin(\theta +\pi )&=-\sin \theta \\\cos(\theta +\pi )&=-\cos \theta \\\tan(\theta +\pi )&=+\tan \theta \\\cot(\theta +\pi )&=+\cot \theta \\\sec(\theta +\pi )&=-\sec \theta \\\csc(\theta +\pi )&=-\csc \theta \end{aligned}}}$	${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\sin(\theta +{\tfrac {3\pi }{2}})&=-\cos \theta \\\cos(\theta +{\tfrac {3\pi }{2}})&=+\sin \theta \\\tan(\theta +{\tfrac {3\pi }{2}})&=-\cot \theta \\\cot(\theta +{\tfrac {3\pi }{2}})&=-\tan \theta \\\sec(\theta +{\tfrac {3\pi }{2}})&=+\csc \theta \\\csc(\theta +{\tfrac {3\pi }{2}})&=-\sec \theta \end{aligned}}}$	${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\sin(\theta +2\pi )&=+\sin \theta \\\cos(\theta +2\pi )&=+\cos \theta \\\tan(\theta +2\pi )&=+\tan \theta \\\cot(\theta +2\pi )&=+\cot \theta \\\sec(\theta +2\pi )&=+\sec \theta \\\csc(\theta +2\pi )&=+\csc \theta \end{aligned}}}$

又稱做“和差定理”、“和差公式”或“和角公式”。最簡要的檢定方式是使用歐拉公式^{[註 1]}。

正弦	${\displaystyle \sin(\alpha \pm \beta )=\sin \alpha \cos \beta \pm \cos \alpha \sin \beta \,}$
余弦	${\displaystyle \cos(\alpha \pm \beta )=\cos \alpha \cos \beta \mp \sin \alpha \sin \beta \,}$
正切	${\displaystyle \tan(\alpha \pm \beta )={\frac {\tan \alpha \pm \tan \beta }{1\mp \tan \alpha \tan \beta }}}$
余切	${\displaystyle \cot(\alpha \pm \beta )={\frac {\cot \alpha \cot \beta \mp 1}{\cot \beta \pm \cot \alpha }}}$
正割	${\displaystyle \sec(\alpha \pm \beta )={\frac {\sec \alpha \sec \beta }{1\mp \tan \alpha \tan \beta }}}$
余割	${\displaystyle \csc(\alpha \pm \beta )={\frac {\csc \alpha \csc \beta }{\cot \beta \pm \cot \alpha }}}$
注意正負號的對應。 ${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}x\pm y=a\pm b&\Rightarrow \ x+y=a+b\\&{\mbox{and}}\ x-y=a-b\end{aligned}}}$ ${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}x\pm y=a\mp b&\Rightarrow \ x+y=a-b\\&{\mbox{and}}\ x-y=a+b\end{aligned}}}$

根据${\displaystyle sin{\frac {\pi }{4}}=cos{\frac {\pi }{4}}={\frac {1}{\sqrt {2}}}}$，以及和差恒等式，可以得到同角的正弦余弦的和差关系，例如，

${\displaystyle \sin \alpha +\cos \alpha ={\sqrt {2}}\left(\sin \alpha \cos {\frac {\pi }{4}}+\sin {\frac {\pi }{4}}\cos \alpha \right)={\sqrt {2}}\sin \left(\alpha +{\frac {\pi }{4}}\right)={\sqrt {2}}\cos \left(\alpha -{\frac {\pi }{4}}\right)}$

${\displaystyle \sin \alpha -\cos \alpha ={\sqrt {2}}\left(\sin \alpha \cos {\frac {\pi }{4}}-\sin {\frac {\pi }{4}}\cos \alpha \right)={\sqrt {2}}\sin \left(\alpha -{\frac {\pi }{4}}\right)={\sqrt {2}}\cos \left(\alpha +{\frac {\pi }{4}}\right)}$

${\displaystyle \sin \left(\sum _{i=1}^{\infty }\theta _{i}\right)=\sum _{\mathrm {odd} \ k\geq 1}(-1)^{\frac {k-1}{2}}\sum _{|A|=k}\left(\prod _{i\in A}\sin \theta _{i}\prod _{i\not \in A}\cos \theta _{i}\right)}$

${\displaystyle \cos \left(\sum _{i=1}^{\infty }\theta _{i}\right)=\sum _{\mathrm {even} \ k\geq 0}~(-1)^{\frac {k}{2}}~~\sum _{|A|=k}\left(\prod _{i\in A}\sin \theta _{i}\prod _{i\not \in A}\cos \theta _{i}\right)}$

這里的"${\displaystyle |A|=k}$"意味著索引${\displaystyle A}$遍歷集合${\displaystyle \left\{1,2,3,\ldots \right\}}$的大小為${\displaystyle k}$的所有子集的集合。

在这两个恒等式中出现了在有限多项中不出现的不对称：在每个乘积中，只有有限多个正弦因子和餘有限多个余弦因子。

如果只有有限多项${\displaystyle \theta _{i}}$是非零，则在右边只有有限多项是非零，因为正弦因子将变为零，而在每个项中，所有却有限多的余弦因子将是单位一。

设${\displaystyle x_{i}=\tan \theta _{i}}$，对于${\displaystyle i=1,\ldots ,n}$。设${\displaystyle e_{k}}$是变量${\displaystyle x_{i}}$，${\displaystyle i=1,\ldots ,n}$，${\displaystyle k=0,\ldots ,n}$的${\displaystyle k}$次基本对称多项式。则

${\displaystyle \tan(\theta _{1}+\cdots +\theta _{n})={\frac {e_{1}-e_{3}+e_{5}-\cdots }{e_{0}-e_{2}+e_{4}-\cdots }},}$

项的数目依赖于${\displaystyle n}$。例如，

${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\tan(\theta _{1}+\theta _{2}+\theta _{3})&{}={\frac {e_{1}-e_{3}}{e_{0}-e_{2}}}={\frac {(x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3})\ -\ (x_{1}x_{2}x_{3})}{1\ -\ (x_{1}x_{2}+x_{1}x_{3}+x_{2}x_{3})}},\\\\\tan(\theta _{1}+\theta _{2}+\theta _{3}+\theta _{4})&{}={\frac {e_{1}-e_{3}}{e_{0}-e_{2}+e_{4}}}\\\\&{}={\frac {(x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}+x_{4})\ -\ (x_{1}x_{2}x_{3}+x_{1}x_{2}x_{4}+x_{1}x_{3}x_{4}+x_{2}x_{3}x_{4})}{1\ -\ (x_{1}x_{2}+x_{1}x_{3}+x_{1}x_{4}+x_{2}x_{3}+x_{2}x_{4}+x_{3}x_{4})\ +\ (x_{1}x_{2}x_{3}x_{4})}},\end{aligned}}}$

并以此类推。一般情况可通过数学归纳法证明。

${\displaystyle T_{n}}$是${\displaystyle n}$次切比雪夫多项式	${\displaystyle \cos n\theta =T_{n}\cos \theta \,}$
${\displaystyle S_{n}}$是${\displaystyle n}$次伸展多项式	${\displaystyle \sin ^{2}n\theta =S_{n}\sin ^{2}\theta \,}$
棣莫弗定理，${\displaystyle i}$是虚单位	${\displaystyle \cos n\theta +i\sin n\theta =(\cos \theta +i\sin \theta )^{n}\,}$

${\displaystyle 1+2\cos x+2\cos 2x+2\cos 3x+\cdots +2\cos(nx)={\frac {\sin \left[\left(n+{\frac {1}{2}}\right)x\right]}{\sin {\frac {x}{2}}}}}$。

（這個${\displaystyle x}$的函數是狄利克雷核。）

這些公式可以使用和差恒等式或多倍角公式来证明。

${\displaystyle \cos \alpha \sin \beta ={\sin(\alpha +\beta )-\sin(\alpha -\beta ) \over 2}}$	${\displaystyle \sin \alpha -\sin \beta =2\cos {\alpha +\beta \over 2}\sin {\alpha -\beta \over 2}}$
${\displaystyle \cos \alpha \cos \beta ={\cos(\alpha +\beta )+\cos(\alpha -\beta ) \over 2}}$	${\displaystyle \cos \alpha +\cos \beta =2\cos {\frac {\alpha +\beta }{2}}\cos {\frac {\alpha -\beta }{2}}}$
${\displaystyle \sin \alpha \sin \beta =-{\cos(\alpha +\beta )-\cos(\alpha -\beta ) \over 2}}$	${\displaystyle \cos \alpha -\cos \beta =-2\sin {\alpha +\beta \over 2}\sin {\alpha -\beta \over 2}}$

${\displaystyle \sin(x+y)\sin(x-y)=\sin ^{2}{x}-\sin ^{2}{y}=\cos ^{2}{y}-\cos ^{2}{x}\,}$

${\displaystyle \cos(x+y)\cos(x-y)=\cos ^{2}{x}-\sin ^{2}{y}=\cos ^{2}{y}-\sin ^{2}{x}\,}$

(可藉由積化和差公式+2倍角公式推導而來)

如果${\displaystyle x+y+z=n\pi }$，

那么${\displaystyle \tan x+\tan y+\tan z=\tan x\tan y\tan z}$

${\displaystyle \cot x\cot y+\cot y\cot z+\cot z\cot x=1}$

如果${\displaystyle x+y+z=n\pi +{\frac {\pi }{2}}}$，

那么${\displaystyle \tan x\tan y+\tan y\tan z+\tan z\tan x=1}$

${\displaystyle \cot x+\cot y+\cot z=\cot x\cot y\cot z}$

如果${\displaystyle x+y+z=\pi }$，

那么${\displaystyle \sin 2x+\sin 2y+\sin 2z=4\sin x\sin y\sin z}$

${\displaystyle \sin x+\sin y+\sin z=4\cos {\frac {x}{2}}\cos {\frac {y}{2}}\cos {\frac {z}{2}}}$

${\displaystyle \cos x+\cos y+\cos z=1+4\sin {\frac {x}{2}}\sin {\frac {y}{2}}\sin {\frac {z}{2}}}$

如果${\displaystyle w+x+y+z=\pi }$（半圆）

那么:

${\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\sin(w+x)\sin(x+y)&=\sin(x+y)\sin(y+z)\\&=\sin(y+z)\sin(z+w)\\&{}=\sin(z+w)\sin(w+x)\\&{}=\sin w\sin y+\sin x\sin z\end{aligned}}}$

（前三个等式是一般情况；第四个是本质。）
