Sum, Difference, Double and Half Angle Identities: Appetizers

The document presents 50 problems involving trigonometric identities related to sum, difference, double and half angle formulas. The problems are divided into two sections: appetizers containing simpler problems to warm up skills and mind strainers containing more challenging problems. Students are asked to determine exact trigonometric values, evaluate trigonometric expressions, prove various trigonometric identities, and solve equations involving trigonometric functions.
