All Rights Reserved Slide - 3 Identically Equal, Identity, and Conditional Equation Definition Identically Equal, Identity, and Conditional Equation Two functions f and g are identically equal if f ( x) g ( x) for every value of x for which both functions are defined. Such an equation is referred to as an identity. An equation that is not an identity is called a conditional equation. Copyright © 2020, 2016, 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

All Rights Reserved Slide - 6 Algebra Techniques Four basic algebraic techniques are used to establish identities: 1. Rewriting a trigonometric expression in terms of sine and cosine only 2. Multiplying the numerator and denominator of a ratio by a “well-chosen 1” 3. Writing sums of trigonometric ratios as a single ratio 4. Factoring Copyright © 2020, 2016, 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Slide - 7 Example 1: Using Algebraic Techniques to Simplify Trigonometric Expressions (1 of 4) tan a) Simplify by rewriting each trigonometric sec function in terms of sine and cosine numbers. sin 1 cos b) Show that by multiplying the 1 cos sin numerator and denominator by 1 cos cos 2 1 c) Simplify tan cos tan by factoring. 1 sin u cot u cos u d) Simplify by rewriting the sin u cos u expression as a single ratio.

All Rights Reserved Slide - 11 Example 2: Establishing an Identity Establish the identity: csc tan sec Start with the left side, because it contains the more complicated expression. Then use a reciprocal identity and a quotient identity. 1 sin 1 csc tan sec sin cos cos The right side has been reached, so the identity is established.

All Rights Reserved Slide - 13 Example 4: Establishing an Identity (1 of 2) sin 2 cos 2 Establish the identity: cos sin sin cos The left side contains the more complicated expression. Also, the left side contains expressions with the argument −θ, whereas the right side contains expressions with the argument θ. So start with the left side and use Even-Odd Identities.

(Alternatively, we could multiply the numerator and the denominator of the right side by 1 – sin.) Copyright © 2020, 2016, 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

All Rights Reserved Slide - 21 Guidelines for Establishing Identities It is almost always preferable to start with the side containing the more complicated expression. Rewrite sums or differences of quotients as a single quotient. Sometimes it helps to rewrite one side in terms of sine and cosine functions only. Always keep the goal in mind. As you manipulate one side of the expression, keep in mind the form of the expression on the other side. Copyright © 2020, 2016, 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Slide - 22
