The document discusses verifying trigonometric identities by manipulating one side of an equation until it equals the other side. It notes that this approach can be easier than simplifying, as the final answer is known. Students are asked to check their homework answers and share different solutions they may have found. An upcoming quiz on trigonometric identities is scheduled for April 5th.

manipulating one side* until it equals the second side. *In rare cases, you need to manipulate both sides, but this is the exception, not the rule. This can be easier than simplifying because now you know what the final answer should look like.
