prove (csc(-x))/(sec(-x))=-tan(pi/2-x)

Solution

prove

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

Solution

True

Solution steps

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

Manipulating left side

\frac{csc ( - x )}{sec ( - x )}

Use the negative angle identity:

csc (- x) = - csc (x)

= \frac{- csc ( x )}{sec ( - x )}

Use the negative angle identity:

sec (- x) = sec (x)

= \frac{- csc ( x )}{sec ( x )}

Express with sin, cos

\frac{- csc ( x )}{sec ( x )}

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= \frac{- \frac{1}{s i n ( x )}}{sec ( x )}

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= \frac{- \frac{1}{s i n ( x )}}{\frac{1}{c o s ( x )}}

Simplify

\frac{- \frac{1}{s i n ( x )}}{\frac{1}{c o s ( x )}} : - \frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )}

\frac{- \frac{1}{s i n ( x )}}{\frac{1}{c o s ( x )}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{\frac{1}{s i n ( x )}}{\frac{1}{c o s ( x )}}

Divide fractions:

\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}} = \frac{a \cdot d}{b \cdot c}

= - \frac{1 \cdot cos ( x )}{sin ( x ) \cdot 1}

Refine

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

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

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

Manipulating right side

- tan (\frac{π}{2} - x)

Rewrite using trig identities

tan (\frac{π}{2} - x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

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

Use the Angle Difference identity:

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

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

Use the Angle Difference identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

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

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

sin (\frac{π}{2}) cos (x) = cos (x)

sin (\frac{π}{2}) cos (x)

Simplify

sin (\frac{π}{2}) : 1

sin (\frac{π}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{π}{2}) = 1
