    B/C3.2 Trig Identities

    Success Criteria: I will be able to…


     Prove that one side of a trig identity is equivalent to the other side
     Prove a trig identity using proper notation and communication

    In mathematics, an identity is an equation (statement) that is always true regardless of the value of
    the variable.
     An identity contains an equal’s sign, but CANNOT be solved since the statement is always true.
     Identities can ONLY be proven, by applying other known identities.

    Reminders/Strategies for Proving Trigonometric Identities


    There are no official “steps to prove” a trigonometric identity – the more you practice them, the
    easier they will become!
     Use the reciprocal and quotient identities to rewrite the expression in terms of sine and cosine
     Make a common denominator to combine expressions that involve fractions
     Factor and/or expand and simplify expressions
     Use the Pythagorean identity when there are square terms (you can isolate this identity)
     Separate the equation into two expressions, one for the left side, one for the right side
     You should be able to work with only one side to rove the identity, but you can work with both
    if you need to
     DO NOT move things across the equals sign!
     The value of each side of the equation should never change

    Example 1: Prove the following identities.


    a) cos 𝜃 tan 𝜃 = sin 𝜃 b) csc 𝜃 − 1 = csc 𝜃 (1 − sin 𝜃)
