  1. MA L 7.2 Verifying Trigonometric Identities Make the left side equal the right.

  2. Hints for Proving Identities • Select the more complex side of the = sign to work on. • Use double & half-angle formulas is necessary to get all trig functions of the same angle (x) • Carry out any algebraic manipulations, such as adding, subtracting, multiplying, or factoring. • If given rational expressions, get LCD. • Converting all expressions to sines and cosines is often helpful. • If working on the left side, constantly refer to the right and see how you can get something on the left to match the right. • Try Something! Put your pencil to work and get involved. There is usually more than one method. If you find your equation getting further complicated, start over with a new approach.

  3. Let’s begin with what we already know.

  4. The Pythagorean theorem yields…

  5. Here are three KEY techniques: Replacing Replacing Using the Quadratic Formula

  6. 1=1
