Using and Proving Trigonometric Identities
Videos, worksheets, games and acivities to help Algebra 2 students learn how to use and prove trigonometric identities.
Using Trigonometric Identities
:
When simplifying problems that have reciprocal trig functions, start by substituting in the identities for each. If possible, write tangent in terms of sine and cosine. Use algebra to eliminate any complex fractions, factor, or cancel common terms. When using trigonometric identities, make one side of the equation look like the other or work on both sides of the equation to arrive at an identity (like 1=1).
