Construct proofs of trigonometric identities including Pythagorean ($\\sin^2 \\theta + \\cos^2 \\theta = 1, 1 + \\tan^2 \\theta = \\sec^2 \\theta, 1 + \\cot^2 \\theta = \\csc^2 \\theta$), compound angle, double angle, and harmonic form conversions $R\\cos(\\theta \\pm \\alpha)$ and $R\\sin(\\theta \\pm \\alpha)$; solve trigonometric equations in specified intervals.
