Hello student, please find answer to your question
There are methods of substitution.
Whenever you see the equation is converting into standard trigonometric identity by substition, then we apply the substituion method.
All the standard trigonometric identities should be on your tips.
Of course, the more questions you will practice, the better you will get in this field.
Good Luck!
