  2. You can use trigonometric identities to simplify trigonometric expressions. Recall that an identity is a mathematical statement that is true for all values of the variables for which the statement is defined.

  3. To prove that an equation is an identity, alter one side of the equation until it is the same as the other side. Justify your steps by using the fundamental identities.

  4. Proving Trigonometric Identities Prove each trigonometric identity. Choose the right-hand side to modify. 1. Reciprocal identities. Simplify. Ratio identity.

  5. Proving Trigonometric Identities Prove each trigonometric identity. Choose the right-hand side to modify. 2. 1 – cot θ = 1 + cot(–θ) Reciprocal identity. Negative-angle identity. = 1 + (–cotθ) Reciprocal identity. = 1 – cotθ Simplify.

  6. Helpful Hint You may start with either side of the given equation. It is often easier to begin with the more complicated side and simplify it to match the simpler side.

  7. Proving Trigonometric Identities Prove each trigonometric identity. Choose the left-hand side to modify. 3. sin θcot θ = cos θ Ratio identity. cos θ = Simplify.

  8. Proving Trigonometric Identities Prove each trigonometric identity. Choose the left-hand side to modify. 4. 1 – sec(–θ) = 1 – secθ Reciprocal identity. Negative-angle identity. Reciprocal Identity.

  9. Proving Trigonometric Identities Prove each trigonometric identity. Reciprocal identity.
