Reflection#1 Verifying Trig Functions

1. To verify a trig function means to  fully simplify a trig function so that a said side is equal to another. 
2. The tips that I have found useful in this unit is to work with Sin and Cos as much as possible. The reason for this id due to the fact that these two trig function are the easiest to work with, that and sec squared and tan squared.
3. When verifying a trigonometric function look for what to do first: pull out a gcf, lcd, foil, etc. After this can the identities be replaced with sin and cos? Check for this. After this simply take it step by step and organize your work so that everything doesn't get mixed up.
