prove sin(pi-θ)=sin(θ)

prove

sin (π - θ) = sin (θ)

True

Solution steps

sin (π - θ) = sin (θ)

Manipulating left side

sin (π - θ)

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (π - θ)

Use the Angle Difference identity:

sin (s - t) = sin (s) cos (t) - cos (s) sin (t)

= sin (π) cos (θ) - cos (π) sin (θ)

Simplify

sin (π) cos (θ) - cos (π) sin (θ) : sin (θ)

sin (π) cos (θ) - cos (π) sin (θ)

sin (π) cos (θ) = 0

sin (π) cos (θ)

Simplify

sin (π) : 0

sin (π)

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (π) = 0

sin (x)

periodicity table with

= 0

= 0 \cdot cos (θ)

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 0

cos (π) sin (θ) = - sin (θ)

cos (π) sin (θ)

Simplify

cos (π) : - 1

cos (π)

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (π) = (- 1)

cos (x)

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} cos (x) 1 \frac{3}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{1}{2} 0 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{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} cos (x) - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2}

= - 1

= - 1 \cdot sin (θ)

Multiply:

1 \cdot sin (θ) = sin (θ)

= - sin (θ)

= 0 - (- sin (θ))

Refine

= sin (θ)

= sin (θ)

= sin (θ)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True

tan (\frac{x}{2}) = csc (x) - cot (x)

tan (x) cot (x) = 1

cot (x) = \frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )}

\frac{1}{2} (cot (x) + tan (x)) = csc (2 x)

tan (x) + cot (x) = sec (x) \cdot csc (x)
