Worksheet on Trigonometric Identities

In worksheet on trigonometric identities we will prove various types of practice questions on establishing identities. Here you will get 50 different types of proving trigonometric identities questions with some selected questions hints.

1. Prove the trigonometric identity sin θ cos θ (tan θ + cot θ) = 1.

2. Prove the trigonometric identity sin4 θ – cos4 θ =  2 sin2 θ – 1

3. Prove the trigonometric identity sin4 θ - cos4 θ + 1 =  2 sin2 θ
