Trigonometric Identities and Angles

This video tutorial covers solving trigonometric equations using co-function identities. It begins with an introduction to co-function identities and their application in solving equations. The first example demonstrates solving an equation with degrees, while the second example uses radians. Both examples highlight the importance of recognizing complementary angles and using co-function identities to find solutions.
