prove sin(pi/2+θ)=cos(θ)

prove

sin (\frac{π}{2} + θ) = cos (θ)

True

Solution steps

sin (\frac{π}{2} + θ) = cos (θ)

Manipulating left side

sin (\frac{π}{2} + θ)

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (\frac{π}{2} + θ)

Use the Angle Sum identity:

sin (s + t) = sin (s) cos (t) + cos (s) sin (t)

= sin (\frac{π}{2}) cos (θ) + cos (\frac{π}{2}) sin (θ)

Simplify

sin (\frac{π}{2}) cos (θ) + cos (\frac{π}{2}) sin (θ) : cos (θ)

sin (\frac{π}{2}) cos (θ) + cos (\frac{π}{2}) sin (θ)

sin (\frac{π}{2}) cos (θ) = cos (θ)

sin (\frac{π}{2}) cos (θ)

Simplify

sin (\frac{π}{2}) : 1

sin (\frac{π}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{π}{2}) = 1

sin (x)

periodicity table with

cycle:

x 0 \frac{π}{6} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{2} \frac{2 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{4} \frac{5 π}{6} sin (x) 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2} 1 \frac{3}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{1}{2} x π \frac{7 π}{6} \frac{5 π}{4} \frac{4 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{2} \frac{5 π}{3} \frac{7 π}{4} \frac{11 π}{6} sin (x) 0 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2}

= 1

= 1 \cdot cos (θ)

Multiply:

1 \cdot cos (θ) = cos (θ)

= cos (θ)

cos (\frac{π}{2}) sin (θ) = 0

cos (\frac{π}{2}) sin (θ)

Simplify

cos (\frac{π}{2}) : 0

cos (\frac{π}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{π}{2}) = 0

cos (x)

= 0

= 0 \cdot sin (θ)

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 0

= cos (θ) + 0

cos (θ) + 0 = cos (θ)

= cos (θ)

= cos (θ)

= cos (θ)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True

\frac{1 - tan ^{2} ( x )}{1 + tan ^{2} ( x )} = cos (2 x)

cos (α + β) = cos (α) cos (β) - sin (α) sin (β)

cos (x) + cos (x) tan^{2} (x) = sec (x)

\frac{sin ( θ )}{tan ( θ )} = cos (θ)

tan (x) csc (x) cos (x) = 1
