Graph both sides of the equation in the same viewing window. If they produce different graphs they are not identities. If they appear the same the identity must still be verified.

Sum and Difference Identities for Cosine

cos(x – y) = cos x cos y - sin x sin y Claim: cos(/2 – y) = siny

Proof:cos(/2 – y) = cos (/2) cos y + sin(/2) sin y

= 0 cos y + 1 sin y = sin y
