How to complete this review…
• This review is designed to help you learn how to study for math
assessments
• One of the best ways to do that is to cover up answers and solve a
problem on paper. Then view the correct answer and see if you got it
right (or identify where you may need to adjust your thinking).
• Try to complete each example by hand. This is especially needed for
the harder problems.
Section 5-1

Section 5-2
Verifying Trig Identities
Section 5-2 Goals
• Different strategies to verify trig identities, such as…
• Changing everything to sines and cosines to simplify
• Try to factor or get a common denominator
• Multiplying by the conjugate
• Never do something to both sides to “balance it out” (i.e., no adding 3 to
both sides)
• Learn odd/even identities
• Learn complementary cofunction identities
