Act as an IB Math AA tutor. Help me with this trigonometry problem:
**Key trigonometric identities:**
- Pythagorean: $\sin^2(x) + \cos^2(x) = 1$
- Also: $1 + \tan^2(x) = \sec^2(x)$ and $1 + \cot^2(x) = \csc^2(x)$
- Double angle: $\sin(2x) = 2\sin(x)\cos(x)$, $\cos(2x) = \cos^2(x) - \sin^2(x)$
- Sum formulas: $\sin(A \pm B)$, $\cos(A \pm B)$
**For proving identities:**
1. Start with more complex side
2. Use known identities to simplify
3. Show each step clearly
4. Work toward the other side
**For solving equations:**
1. Simplify using identities
2. Solve for the trig function
3. Find all solutions in given domain
4. Use GDC to verify
**IB Tip:** Show all algebraic steps, don't skip to GDC immediately
