That means the same as solutions of other types of equations: a number that, when you replace the variable by that number, will make the equation true.Note that many trigonometric equations have infinitely many solutions. This is a result of the trigonometric functions being periodic.

What is the term trigonometry identity?
Trigonometric identities are trigonometric equations that are always true.
Are trigonometric equations and trigonometric identities are the same thing?
In a trigonometric equation, you can work to find a solution set which satisfy the given equation, so that you can move terms from one side to another in order to achieve it (or as we say we operate the same things to both sides). But in a trigonometric identity, you only can manipulate separately each side, until you can get or not the same thing to both sides, that is to conclude if the given identity is true or false.
How do you simplify trigonometric expressions?
Use the trigonometric relations and identities.
What are the uses of trigonometry in various fields?
Scientific fields that make use of trigonometry include: acoustics, architecture, astronomy , cartography, civil engineering, geophysics, crystallography, electrical engineering, electronics, land surveying and geodesy, many physical sciences, mechanical engineering, machining, medical imaging , number theory, oceanography, optics, pharmacology, probability theory, seismology, statistics, and visual perception. Various types of equations can be solved using trigonometry. For example, a linear difference equation or differential equation with constant coefficients has solutions expressed in terms of the eigenvalues of its characteristic equation; if some of the eigenvalues are complex, the complex terms can be replaced by trigonometric functions of real terms, showing that the dynamic variable exhibits oscillations. Similarly, cubic equations with three real solutions have an algebraic solution that is unhelpful in that it contains cube roots of complex numbers; again an alternative solution exists in terms of trigonometric functions of real terms.
What does trigonometric identities all about?
They are true statements about trigonometric ratios and their relationships irrespective of the value of the angle.
