Lesson Description:

We verify a Trig identity by using the basic identities and the identity for the cosine of a sum or difference. We prove that (cos(x+y))/(cosx * cosy) = 1 - tanx * tany using a trig proof.

    This lesson shows how to do a trig proof by making one side of the equal sign look like the other side. All steps of the proof are shown in a way just as you would be expected to complete such a proof. This is a great trig proof tutorial.
