The last two triplets of Pythag­orean identities are obtained by dividing all the terms of the original identity by sin²(x) or cos²(x)

Sum, Differ­ence, and Product Identities

sin(x+­y)=­sin­(x)­cos(y) + cos(x)­sin(y)
sin(x-­y)=­sin­(x)­cos(y) - cos(x)­sin(y)

Trigon­ometric Substi­tutions

a2-u2
Let u=asin(θ), du=aco­s(θ)dθ
θ∈[-π/2, π/2]
u2-a2
Let u=asec(θ), du=ase­c(θ­)ta­n(θ)dθ
θ∈[0, π/2)
u2+a2
Let u=atan(θ), du=asec2(θ)dθ
θ∈(-π/2, π/2)
a2-b2u2
Let u=(a/b­)si­n(θ), du=(a/­b)c­os(θ)dθ
θ∈[-π/2, π/2]
b2u2-a2
Let u=(a/b­)se­c(θ), du=(a/­b)s­ec(­θ)t­an(θ)dθ
θ∈[0, π/2)
b2u2+a2
Let u=(a/b­)ta­n(θ), du=(a/­b)sec2(θ)dθ
θ∈(-π/2, π/2)
Trigon­ometric substi­tutions are typically used under radicals, however, they are not required to be

For definite integrals, you will need to set u equal to its respective bounds, and solve for θ in order to properly change the bounds of integr­ation with respect to θ

Half-Angle and Double­-Angle Identities

Sine Half-Angle
sin(x/2)=√(½(1-c­os(x)))
Cosine Half-Angle

Sine Power-­­Re­d­ucing
sin2(x)=½(­1-c­os(2x))
Cosine Power-­­Re­d­ucing
cos2(x)=½(­1+c­os(2x))
 
Sine Double­-Angle
sin(2x­)=2­sin­(x)­cos(x)
Cosine Double­-Angle 1
cos(2x­)=cos2(x)-sin2(x)
Cosine Double­-Angle 2
cos(2x­)=2cos2(x)-1
Cosine Double­-Angle 3
cos(2x­)=1­-2sin2(x)
Sine Power-­­Re­d­ucing and Cosine Power-­­Re­d­ucing identities are variations of the Half-Angle identities

Hey, just stumbled across this. This is AMAZING! Very succinct and has every Trig thing I would need! Just wanted to note, I noticed some overlapping in the Pythagorean Identities Section. It only cuts off stuff on the right of the column. They can be derived from the other stuff, so not a big deal, just noticed! :)
