TRIGONOMETRIC IDENTITIES

A trigonometric identity is an equation involving trigonometric functions that hold for all values of the argument, typically chosen to be .

Guidelines for Verifying Trigonometric Identities

The following suggestions help guide the way to verifying trigonometric identities:• Start with the more complicated side of the equation.• Combine all sums and differences of fractions (quotients) into a

single fraction (quotient).• Use basic trigonometric identities.• Use algebraic techniques to manipulate one side of the other side of

the equation is achieved.• Sometimes it is helpful to convert all trigonometric functions into

sines and cosines. Note:Trigonometric identities must be valid for all values of the independent variable for which the expressions in the equation are defined (domain of the equation).
