prove sin(x)-cos(x)=0

Solution

prove

sin (x) - cos (x) = 0

False

Solution steps

sin (x) - cos (x) = 0

Show that the two sides are not equal

For

sin (x) - cos (x) = 0

plug in

x = 0

sin (0) - cos (0) = - 1

sin (0) - cos (0)

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (0) = 0

sin (0)

sin (x)

periodicity table with

cycle:

= 0

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (0) = 1

cos (0)

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

= 0 - 1

Simplify

= - 1

The two sides are not equal

\Rightarrow False

sin (2 θ) + cos (2 θ) = 2 sin (θ) cos (θ) + 2 cos^{2} (θ) - 1

\frac{tan ^{4} ( x ) - 1}{tan ^{2} ( x ) - 1} = sec^{2} (x)

csc (β) - csc (β) cos (2 β) = 2 \cdot sin (β)

cos (27 0^{\circ} - θ) = - sin (θ)

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