tips for solving proving type of questions

1. work from the side which looks more "complicated".

2. know your trigonometric identities well. need not memorize them as most are given in the formula sheet, but you need to learn when and how to apply them.

3. if there are any composite angles (2θ, 3θ, etc), split them out as much as possible).

4. if there are sec, cosec, cot functions, try to convert to sin, cos functions.

5. if you get stuck, you can try to work from the other side to find the link.
however, for final presentation, you need to present the working continuously from one end to the other end.
