start with a?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok, when proving identities, start with the more complicated side then simplify to get to the other expression.... which side is more complicated to you?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
try to put them in sine and cos only
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok.. do what @mathg8 , said...

ok so first, LHS, = 1/cos + sintheta/costheta
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well ...that one is done ! :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yep..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
in #1
1/cos = secant
1 + sin/cos = 1/cos + sin/cos
no need to go to terms of sin or cos in this one
OpenStudy (anonymous):

#2 i would foil LHS, use double angle on RHS
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so is RHS, sin theta /costheta = tantheta
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait, i need to solve both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
LHS and RHS

you don't have to
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah i guess so
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh. Ok I thought I needed
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So for b how do I do it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
FOIL out the left, then use sin^2 + cos^2 = 1 to make them equal

that attachment is for b:)

Your task is to verify the identities given. Generally, look for ways in which you can manipulate a term into a different term, trying to get all of the terms to use the same trig ratio. Converting to sines and cosines is a LAST RESORT when other things dont work.
for a) convert tan to sin/cos, then you can add and get the right side
for b) FOIL out the terms then convet sin^2 + cos^2 to 1 and you get the right side
etc etc
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok, How do I do d?

last one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thank you so much @mathg8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I really appreciate it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
np ... have a paper with identity formulas and most of the time reduce everything to sin and cos
