2️⃣ Pythagorean identity

3️⃣ Sum and difference formulas (core backbone)

4️⃣ Double and half angle

5️⃣ Product-to-sum and sum-to-product

6️⃣ General linear transformation proof

🚩 Why do these proofs?

You’ll develop a geometric and algebraic feel for why transformations work.

In JEE Advanced or Olympiads, transformations often appear in disguised forms (e.g., integral simplifications,
range problems, solving trig equations).
