Trigonometric Identities Problem Set

This document provides a problem set on trigonometric identities with multiple sections: Section A asks to simplify various trigonometric expressions. Section B asks to prove several trigonometric identities. Section C asks to prove identities using sum or difference of angles. Section D finds exact values using sum or difference of angles. Sections E and F ask to prove identities using double-angle and half-angle formulas respectively. The last section provides a peer evaluation rubric.
