Prove that


   
Solution: 

Consider the given equation above


In proving the trigonometric functions, the first thing that you have to do is to choose the more complicated side of the equation and then simplify and compare with the other side of the equation if they are equal or not. 

In this case, the left side of the equation is more complicated and we have to simplify it as follows



The numerator is the sum of cubes. We can use the principles of Algebra in factoring the numerator as follows






but



then the above equation becomes





Therefore,

Prove that 




Solution:

In proving the trigonometric functions, the first thing that you have to do is to choose the more complicated side of the equation and then simplify and compare with the other side of the equation if they are equal or not. 

In this case, let's choose the left side of the equation as follows



If you will continue to expand further the above equation, it will be more complicated and longer. Let's substitute all  trigonometric functions with another variables as follows

Let 


 





then the above equation becomes































since







then the above equation becomes



Therefore,

Prove that


Solution:

Consider the given equation above


In proving the trigonometric identities, we have to choose the most complicated part which is the left side of the given equation. Let's simplify the left side of the equation. Get the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of the two fractions and rewrite the fractions, we have

   


but 



and the above equation becomes




Therefore,
