Honors PreCal Trig Identities Test Review Name__________________________

Period ______
Insert one of a – f on the right of the equal sign so the resulting equation is an identity. You MUST show
work to prove the identity. (Hint on #3: draw x and -x on the unit circle. This won’t be on the test, but it’s a
challenge for those who’d like it…)
1. cos x sec x = ____________ a) sin 2x

b) csc x

sec x + csc x

Find the exact value using sum or difference identities. You must show all of your work…including the angles
you use in the identity. Final answer must be completely simplified!!
