prove sec(pi/2-u)=csc(u)

Solution

prove

sec (\frac{π}{2} - u) = csc (u)

Solution

True

Solution steps

sec (\frac{π}{2} - u) = csc (u)

Manipulating left side

sec (\frac{π}{2} - u)

Rewrite using trig identities

sec (\frac{π}{2} - u)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

sec (x) = \frac{1}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{1}{cos ( \frac{π}{2} - u )}

Use the Angle Difference identity:

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

= \frac{1}{cos ( \frac{π}{2} ) cos ( u ) + sin ( \frac{π}{2} ) sin ( u )}

Simplify

\frac{1}{cos ( \frac{π}{2} ) cos ( u ) + sin ( \frac{π}{2} ) sin ( u )} : \frac{1}{sin ( u )}

\frac{1}{cos ( \frac{π}{2} ) cos ( u ) + sin ( \frac{π}{2} ) sin ( u )}

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

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

cos (\frac{π}{2}) cos (u) = 0

cos (\frac{π}{2}) cos (u)

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 cos (u)

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 0

sin (\frac{π}{2}) sin (u) = sin (u)

sin (\frac{π}{2}) sin (u)

Simplify

sin (\frac{π}{2}) : 1

sin (\frac{π}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{π}{2}) = 1

sin (x)

= 1

= 1 \cdot sin (u)

Multiply:

1 \cdot sin (u) = sin (u)

= sin (u)

= 0 + sin (u)

0 + sin (u) = sin (u)

= sin (u)

= \frac{1}{sin ( u )}

= \frac{1}{sin ( u )}

= \frac{1}{sin ( u )}

Rewrite using trig identities

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

sin (x) = \frac{1}{csc ( x )}

\frac{1}{\frac{1}{c s c ( u )}}

Simplify

\frac{1}{\frac{1}{c s c ( u )}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{1}{\frac{b}{c}} = \frac{c}{b}

= \frac{csc ( u )}{1}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{1} = a

= csc (u)

csc (u)

csc (u)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
