Verifying trigonometric identities involves simplifying both sides of the identity using trigonometric properties and rules until both sides are equal, showing that the identity is true. The document provides guidance on verifying identities by simplifying until the known answer is reached, similarly to simplifying algebraic expressions, and assigns homework of working through sample identities.
