Reflection
1. What verifying a trig function means is that we use either the ratio identities, the reciprocal identities or the pythagorean identities to simplify a ratio as much as we possible can. We must also look for a way to simplify it but in a way that isn't going to make the problem a bigger mess than it already might be. 2. Tips i have found helpful are to do a lot of practice, memorizing all of the identities and also watching videos from other students not only the teachers because some teach it in a way that i better understand or they clarify something in a different way. Like in Concept 5 i was completely lost it took me a while but with all the practice and the videos I've re-watched it really helps to stay on task and to ask questions when you need to.
3. The steps i take to solving a trig ratio are simple. I analyze the problem and try to figure out what would be the best way to approach it. I avoid making the trig ratio a big mess, i do not want to make it harder to solve. I also see and picture which identity i can use whether its the ratio identity, reciprocal identity, or the pythagorean identity. Then i look to solve and simplify it to the simplest answer i can simplify it to.
