Trigonometric Functions and Identities

This video tutorial covers solving trigonometric equations using substitution. It begins with an introduction to the method and then provides two examples: one involving a cosine equation and the other a sine equation. The tutorial demonstrates how to use trigonometric identities and the unit circle to find solutions, and it also discusses checking solutions graphically.

What is the primary focus of the video tutorial in part two?

• Graphing linear functions

• Calculating derivatives

• Using substitution in trigonometric equations

• Solving algebraic equations
