Abstract
In this paper we will give q-analogues for the Pythagorean trigonometric identity sin2z + cos2z = 1 in terms of Gosper's q-trigonometry. We shall also give new q-analogues for the duplicate trigonometric identity sin (x + y) = sin2 x - sin2. Moreover, we shall give a short proof for an identity of Gosper, which was also established by Mezo. The main argument of our proofs is the residue theorem applied to elliptic functions.
