Verifying Trigonometric Identities Pt 1

Using the fundemental identities and the Pythagorean Identities, I go over multiple examples of verifying trigonometric identities. It is very important in proofs that you do not handle it like an equation moving terms and factors from side to side. I was corrected that what I am trying to prove should not be within the body of the proof. This implies it has already been assumed to be true. So proofs should be shown like this example: cos^2(x)(tan^2(x)+1)=1 Proof: cos^2(x)(tan^2(x)+1)=cos^2(x)*sec^2(x) =cos^2(x)(1/cos^2(x)) =1 I reshot the intro with permanent corrections instead of just the annotations that are at the beginning of this video.    • Verifying Trigonometric Identities Pt 1   Verifying Trigonometric Identities Part 2    • Verifying Trigonometric Identities Pt2   Verifying Trigonometric Identities Part 3    • Verifying Trigonometric Identities Pt3   Check out http://www.ProfRobBob.com/, there you will find my lessons organized by class/subject and then by topics within each class.
