Abstract. In this paper the completely elementary methods of generating the trigonometric identities are presented. These methods are based on the discussion of sums of the rational powers of roots of the polynomials. Among investigated identities there are proven the identities connected with roots of Kepler's polynomial and generalizations of the known Ramanujan's equalities.
