    Josh Singer
    The document discusses trigonometric identities and provides examples of using identities to simplify expressions. It defines trigonometric functions like tangent, cotangent, secant and cosecant. Key identities presented include the Pythagorean identity (cos2θ + sin2θ = 1) and relationships between functions like tanθ = sinθ/cosθ. Students are given practice problems to simplify expressions using identities, like writing expressions in terms of a single trig function or constant.
