  • Learn how to verify trigonometric identities easily in this video math tutorial by Mario's Math Tutoring. We go through 14 example problems involving reciprocal identities, quotient identities, even and odd identities, pythagorean trig identities, and cofunction identities. I also share tips for how to approach verifying these trig identities.

    What i really appreciate is the fact that you say each step even if it’s kinda repetitive. I have problems with my teacher assuming I know things and skipping steps, making it impossible to learn how to complete these problems. Great video!

    Just wanted to say thank you for that kind message at the 9 minute mark, I'm in pre-calculus and although I try my best in math- i always need to put the extra work in to be able to score well in the class so I spend extra time watching videos like this to practice & understand better. This was definitely helpful and very clear to understand thank you!

    On my first attempt I couldn't even get one. Then I watched other videos and studied more. On the third or 4th day of trying I attempted it and got 9/14. Today I tried it again and can do all 14. This really is about experience. There's only so many kinds of problems they can show you, eventually they'll be forced to repeat the same kinds of problems. Now when I see a problem I know what to do because I've seen all the tricks. Keep doing this, build experience, and keep an eye out for patterns. I must have sunk over 20 hours into getting this concept as someone with a normal intelligence over about 5 days, so keep that in mind as you struggle! This is hard, it's supposed to take a long time.

      @@ishke2994 well it’s been 9 months since I commented, but I guess it’s fine, The way to solve these equation is to simplify it, thought there are a lot of identities as written as written on the right of the board, I think what I meant here was that I used a different one of those, but ended up with the same solution.

  • @andrewhart9913
    @andrewhart9913 4 года назад +31

    It’s always nice when you get trig identities that can be proven by expanding and factoring, or making due with what’s already written, but it gets trickier when you get ones that you have to multiply by external terms through multiplying by 1, such as multiplying one by (1-sinx)/(1-sinx).

    I really enjoy this although I'm new to this and I have been doing a self study of mathematics for only 2 years. It appears once you memorize the formulas you can understand it easily and internalize it and truly understand it. And it's very true what you have said in the video: We need to look at the answer while we position our calculations on the other side of the equal sign. I had to learn the hard way after a few tries. This sort of reminds me of a Rubik's Cube. Your teaching skills are more clear and organized than most instructors I've listened to. thank you

      I'll try not to comment too much, but your point about experience is crucial. After practicing a great deal, you get a kind of intuition while looking at an identity. For instance, on your fourth example, I saw the 1 - cos and immediately thought "conjugate". I went that way, ran into a road block and then tried a different route and ran into a road block. I then went back to the conjugate and got it. Your comments about verifying identities are spot on.
