  1. Section 3-2 Proving Trig Identities

  2. Objective • In this section we will prove that two identities are equal.

  3. Solving Trig Identities • YOU WILL SOLVE THESE TWO DIFFERENT WAYS • Start with one side, and manipulate until it equals the other side • Manipulate both sides until they are equal

  4. Strategies/Tips • If one of the sides of the identity has a fraction, try to get a common denominator and combine. • Try to rewrite one side in terms of only sinx and cosx. • If one of the sides is in factored form, try multiplying it out.

  5. Strategies/Tips 4. Work with the more complicated side first 5. When there is a squared function ( ) you will usually use one of the Pythagorean identities. 6. When both sides are complicated, simplify both so they match
