Our primary applications of trigonometry so far have been computational. We have not made full use of the properties of the functions to study the connections among the trigonometric functions themselves. We will now shift our emphasis more toward theory and proof, exploring where the properties of these special functions lead us, often with no immediate concern for real- world relevance at all. Hopefully in the process you will gain an appreciation for the rich and intricate tapestry of interlocking patterns that can be woven from the six basic trig functions – patterns that will take on even greater beauty later on when you can view them through the lens of calculus.

A.1 + 1 = 2 B.2(x – 3) = 2x – 6 C.x 2 + 3 = 7 D.(x 2 – 1)/(x+1) = x – 1 What are the similarities and differences in each of the equations above?
5
Identities - statements which are true for all values of the variable for which both sides of the equation are defined Identities - statements which are true for all values of the variable for which both sides of the equation are defined In other words, an identity is an equation that is ALWAYS equal for values which are appropriate for its domain. In other words, an identity is an equation that is ALWAYS equal for values which are appropriate for its domain. Domain of validity – set of values for which an equation is defined. Domain of validity – set of values for which an equation is defined.
