1. Consider the following statements. Write “identity” next to any that are true for
all values of 𝜃. Otherwise, write “not an identity.”
a. −sin 𝜃 = sin(−𝜃)
b. sin 𝜃 = sin(2𝜋 − 𝜃)
!
c. cos 𝜃 = sin( " − 𝜃)
e. sin 𝜃 = sin(𝜋 − 𝜃)
f. tan 𝜃 = tan(𝜃 + 𝜋)
!
g. cot 𝜃 = tan( " − 𝜃)
h. sin 𝜃 + cos 𝜃 = 1
i. cos 𝜃 = cos(2𝜋 − 𝜃)
#
k. cos 𝜃 = $%$ &
sin θ cosθ
d. (secθ − tanθ ) (secθ + tanθ ) j.
1− cos2 θ
a. tan" 𝜃 ∙ sin" 𝜃 = tan" 𝜃 − sin" 𝜃 d. (sin 𝜃 + cos 𝜃)" + (sin 𝜃 − cos 𝜃)" = 2

b. $'% &
− tan 𝜃 ∙ sin 𝜃 = cos 𝜃
