3. Verify that
sinx tanx + cosx = secx
Techniques =
1. work with the more complicated side
2. convert everything to sines and cosines.
3. use algebra - factor, common denominators,
splitting fractions, etc.
4. if there are squared terms look for pythag. ids.
5. take any (-x)'s and re-write as (x)'s.
cosx - cosx∙ sin2x = cos3x
