Master Verifying a trigonometric identity

The video tutorial explains how to verify trigonometric identities by equating both sides of an equation. It emphasizes choosing the more complex side to simplify using trigonometric identities like Pythagorean, even/odd, and rewriting in terms of sines and cosines. Several examples demonstrate the process, including using secant, cosine, sine, and cotangent, highlighting different strategies and common pitfalls.
