3. 1. Start with the more complicated side of the identity, and transform it into the simpler side. 2. Try algebraic operations such as multiplying, factoring, combining fractions, splitting fractions, and so on. 3. If other steps fail, express each function in terms of sine and cosine functions, and then perform appropriate algebraic operations. 4. At each step, keep the other side of the identity in mind. This often reveals what you should do in order to get there. Suggested Steps in Verifying Identities 7-1-79

4. Sum Identities sin( x + y ) = sin x cos y + x sin y cos( x + y ) =cos x y – sin x sin y tan( x + y ) = tan x + y 1 – x y Difference Identities sin( x – y ) = sin x cos y – x sin y cos( x – y ) =cos x y + sin x sin y tan( x – y ) = tan x – y 1 + x y Cofunction Identities       Replace  2 with 90° if x is in degrees. cos        2 – x = sin x sin        2 – x =cos x tan        2 – x = cot x Sum, Difference, and Cofunction Identities 7-2-80
