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

prove

cos (x) = sin (x - π)

False

Solution steps

cos (x) = sin (x - π)

Show that the two sides are not equal

For

cos (x) = sin (x - π)

plug in

x = 0

cos (0) = 1

cos (0)

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (0) = 1

cos (0)

cos (x)

periodicity table with

2 πn

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}

= 1

= 1

sin (0 - π) = 0

sin (0 - π)

Simplify

= sin (- π)

Use the following property:

sin (- x) = - sin (x)

sin (- π) = - sin (π)

= - sin (π)

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (π) = 0

sin (π)

sin (x)

periodicity table with

2 πn

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}

= 0

= - 0

Simplify

= 0

The two sides are not equal

\Rightarrow False

cos (φ + a) - cos (φ - a) = - 2 sin (φ) sin (a)

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

cot (- θ) = - cot (θ)

sin^{2} (15 x) + cos^{2} (15 x) = 1

cos (2 x) cos (x) - sin (2 x) sin (x) = 4 cos^{3} (x) - 3 cos (x)
