Mr. Kelly introduces the Pythagorean identity, explaining its significance in trigonometry. The video covers the sine, cosine, and tangent ratios, and demonstrates how to prove the Pythagorean identity. Students learn to solve trigonometric equations using this identity and explore the relationships between tangent, sine, and cosine. The lesson concludes with practice problems and a summary of key concepts.

What is the Pythagorean Identity in trigonometry?

• sine squared plus cosine squared equals one

• sine plus cosine equals one

• sine times cosine equals one

• sine squared minus cosine squared equals one
