Verifying Trig Identities

Verify each trig identity. Show that one side of the equation is equivalent to the other side of the
equation. Show each step of the process.

− tan 𝜃 cos 𝜃 = sin(−𝜃) cot 2 𝜃 (1 + tan2 𝜃) = csc 2 𝜃

sec 𝜃
= tan 𝜃
csc 𝜃
sin2 𝜃 (csc 2 𝜃 − 1) = cos 2 𝜃

cot 𝜃 sin 𝜃 = cos 𝜃


(sec 𝜃 − 1)(sec 𝜃 + 1) = tan2 𝜃

sec 𝜃 cot 𝜃 sin 𝜃 = 1


(1 − cos 𝜃)(1 + sec 𝜃) = sec 𝜃 − cos 𝜃

cos 𝜃 csc 𝜃 = cot 𝜃


cos 𝜃 + sin 𝜃
= 1 + cot 𝜃
sin 𝜃
