Proving Trigonometric Identities
So, you've memorized your fundamental identities, but how can you prove the more obscure ones? See how to apply the basic building blocks of trig to understand deeper relationships.

If this equation is true...
\[ \sin^a(\theta) \cdot \csc^5(\theta) = \sin(\theta) \]
...then what is \(a\)?
