After crossing the first barrier in the process of proving a Trigonometric identity, if you go straight ahead without looking at the goal state on the RHS, you might reach a situation where you would have to start again from the goal state expression and backtrack to the simple result you had reached on the first go, not only an awkward solution but also technically an invalid one....

In procedural approach to solve Trigonometry or Algebra problems, usually the student has to go through many steps writing the steps using pen and paper without using the useful patterns lying partly hidden in the problem waiting to be used with intelligence so that the solution is reached in a few steps lightning fast, that too without using pen and paper. We are not discussing tricks. We are discussing the anatomy of a rich concept that are based on basic concepts and how a specific rich concept can be used for what we call, efficient problem solving.

Basic and rich Trigonometry concepts part 2, proof of compound angle functions

Trigonometry first established relationships between the angle and side measurements of a right angled triangle by defining trigonometric functions and thus extended the reach of mathematics wonderfully. Like any other branch of mathematics, from the basic trigonometric function definitions more advanced function relations are built stage by stage. Here we will deal with compound angle trigonometric function relations in more details...
