prove sin(x+pi/2)=cos(x)

prove

sin (x + \frac{π}{2}) = cos (x)

True

Solution steps

sin (x + \frac{π}{2}) = cos (x)

Manipulating left side

sin (x + \frac{π}{2})

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (x + \frac{π}{2})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

sin (x) cos (\frac{π}{2}) = 0

sin (x) cos (\frac{π}{2})

Simplify

cos (\frac{π}{2}) : 0

cos (\frac{π}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{π}{2}) = 0

cos (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} 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}

= 0

= 0 \cdot sin (x)

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 0

cos (x) sin (\frac{π}{2}) = cos (x)

cos (x) sin (\frac{π}{2})

Simplify

sin (\frac{π}{2}) : 1

sin (\frac{π}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{π}{2}) = 1

sin (x)

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 (x)

Multiply:

cos (x) \cdot 1 = cos (x)

= cos (x)

= 0 + cos (x)

0 + cos (x) = cos (x)

= cos (x)

= cos (x)

= cos (x)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True

csc^{4} (x) - cot^{4} (x) = 2 csc^{2} (x) - 1

csc^{4} (x) - 2 csc^{2} (x) + 1 = cot^{4} (x)

\frac{cos ( x )}{1 - sin ( x )} + \frac{1 - sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = 2 sec (x)

\frac{tan ( θ ) cot ( θ )}{csc ( θ )} = sin (θ)

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