  51\begin{equation}\begin{split}
  52  \operatorname{sec} (\pi \pm x) & = -\operatorname{sec} x \\
  53  \operatorname{sec} (-x) & = \operatorname{sec} x \\
  54  \operatorname{cosec} (\pi \pm x) & = \mp \operatorname{cosec} x \\
  55  \operatorname{cosec} (-x) & = - \operatorname{cosec} x \\

  60### Complementary properties
  61
  62\begin{equation}\begin{split}

  69### Pythagorean identities
  70
  71\begin{equation}\begin{split}
  72  1 + \operatorname{cot}^2 x & = \operatorname{cosec}^2 x, \quad \text{where } \sin x \ne 0 \\

  76## Compound angle formulas
  77
  78$$\cos(x \pm y) = \cos x + \cos y \mp \sin x \sin y$$
  79$$\sin(x \pm y) = \sin x \cos y \pm \cos x \sin y$$
  80$$\tan(x \pm y) = {{\tan x \pm \tan y} \over {1 \mp \tan x \tan y}}$$
  81
  82## Double angle formulas
  83
  84\begin{equation}\begin{split}
  85  \cos 2x &= \cos^2 x - \sin^2 x \\
  86  & = 1 - 2\sin^2 x \\
  87  & = 2 \cos^2 x -1
  88\end{split}\end{equation}
  89
  90$$\sin 2x = 2 \sin x \cos x$$
  91
  92$$\tan 2x = {{2 \tan x} \over {1 - \tan^2 x}}$$
  93
  94## Inverse circular functions
  95
  96Inverse functions: $f(f^{-1}(x)) = x, \quad f(f^{-1}(x)) = x$  
  97Must be 1:1 to find inverse (reflection in $y=x$
  98
  99Domain is restricted to make functions 1:1.
