Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Slide General Strategies I for Proving an Identity 1. The proof begins with the expression on one side of the identity. 2. The proof ends with the expression on the other side. 3. The proof in between consists of showing a sequence of expressions, each one easily seen to be equivalent to its preceding expression.

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Slide General Strategies II for Proving an Identity 1. Begin with the more complicated expression and work toward the less complicated expression. 2. If no other move suggests itself, convert the entire expression to one involving sines and cosines. 3. Combine fractions by combining them over a common denominator.

Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Slide General Strategies III for Proving an Identity 1. Use the algebraic identity (a+b)(a–b) = a 2 –b 2 to set up applications of the Pythagorean identities. 2. Always be mindful of the “target” expression, and favor manipulations that bring you closer to your goal.
