Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. To prove a trigonometric identity, I select one side of the equation and transform it until it is the other side of the equation, or I manipulate both sides to a common trigonometric expression.
Remembering the six sum and difference identities can be difficult. Did you have problems with some exercises because the identity you were using in your head turned out to be an incorrect formula? Are there easy ways to remember the six new identities presented in this section? Group members should address this question, considering one identity at a time. For each formula, list ways to make it casier to remember.
In the interval \([0,2 \pi),\) the solutions of \(\sin x=\cos 2 x\) are \(\frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{5 \pi}{6},\) and \(\frac{3 \pi}{2} .\) Explain how to use graphs generated by a graphing utility to check these solutions.
Find the exact value of each expression. Do not use a calculator. $$\cos \left(\tan ^{-1} \frac{4}{3}+\cos ^{-1} \frac{5}{13}\right)$$
Graph each side of the equation in the same viewing rectangle. If the graphs appear to coincide, verify that the equation is an identity. If the graphs do not appear to coincide, this indicates the equation is not an identity. In these exercises, find a value of \(x\) for which both sides are defined but not equal. $$\sin x=-\cos x \tan (-x)$$
