- What does it actually mean to verify a trig identity?
To solve for a trig identity the answer has to be true no matter what beacuse one side of the equation has to match the other side. To do that several steps has to be made. In a regular equation you can work on both sides but in an identity you can't because it won't prove the identity to be true.
- What tips and tricks have you found helpful?
Knowing the three types of identities help to verify the equation. The unit circle came in handy too because we had to see were it landed in the unit circle. For concept 4, its easy to plug in equation ones it's verify, to see were it lands.
- Explain your thought process and steps you take in verifying a trig identity. Do not use a specific example, but speak in general terms of what you would do no matter what they give you.
- When solving an identity i look to see if there's any identities or if can be split apart. From there I see how can manipulate the equation to verify it. There are so many ways to verify its like a puzzle. Ones i see the end of the equation i start to verify to get my answer.
