Question 1063129: When you verify a trigonometric identity, what step should NOT be taken?
A.) Simplifying the most complicated side of the identity 1st.
B.) Set the identity = to +0+ then solve for the variable.
C.) See if you can factor an expression, square a binomial, add fractions, or make a one-term denominator.
Thanks.
