Generaltipsforprovingidentities:
i) Separate into LS and RS. Terms may NOT cross between sides. ii) Try to change everything to 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃 or 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 iii) If you have two fractions being added or subtracted, find a common denominator and
combine the fractions. iv) Use difference of squares à 1 − 𝑠𝑖𝑛#𝜃 = (1 − 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃)(1 + 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃) v) Use the power rule à 𝑠𝑖𝑛>𝜃 = (𝑠𝑖𝑛#𝜃)?
