โข An identity is an equation that is true for all values of the variables.
โข Difference between identity and equation:
โข An identity is true for any value of the variable, but an equation is not. For example the equation 3x=12 is true only when x=4, so it is an equation, but not an identity.
What are identities used for?
โข They are used in simplifying or rearranging algebraic expressions.
โข By definition, the two sides of an identity are interchangeable, so we can replace one with the other at any time.
โข In this section we will study identities with trig functions.
The trigonometry identities
โข There are dozens of identities in the field of trigonometry.
โข Many websites list the trig identities. Many websites will also explain why identities are true. i.e. prove the identities.

Proving a Trigonometric Identity:
1. Transform the right side of the identity into the left side,
2. Vice versa (Left side to Right )
We do not want to use properties from algebra
that involve both sides of the identity.
Guidelines for Proving Identities:
1. It is usually best to work on the more complicated side first.
2. Look for trigonometric substitutions involving the basic identities that may help simplify things.
3. Look for algebraic operations, such as adding fractions, the distributive property, or factoring, that may simplify the side you are working with or that will at least lead to an expression that will be easier to simplify.
4. If you cannot think of anything else to do, change everything to sines and cosines and see if that helps.
5. Always keep an eye on the side you are not working with to be sure you are working toward it. There is a certain sense of direction that accompanies a successful proof.
6. Practice, practice, practice!

One way to use identities is to simplify expressions involving trigonometric
functions. Often a good strategy for doing this is to write all trig functions in
terms of sines and cosines and then simplify. Letโs see an example of this:

Another way to use identities is to write one function in terms of another
function. Letโs see an example of this:
2
Write the following expression
in terms of only one trig function:
cos sin 1x x This expression involves both sine and
cosine. The Fundamental Identity makes a
connection between sine and cosine so we
can use that and solve for cosine squared
and substitute.

2= 1 sin sin 1x x
