Verifying Identities

This week we learned about verifiying identities. Verifying identities means making one side of an equation look like the other side. There are five tips on verifying and one of them is to simplify the more complicated side (for example simplify the addition side not the multiplication side). The second tip is to find common denominators in fractions. The third tip is to change the functions in terms of sine and cosine. The fourth and fifth tips are to use an identity and to multiply by a conjugate pair. If you use all these tips and use the identities correctly you should be able to verify identities.  Here is a picture of some of the identities that are essential to verifying.
