prove sin(pi/2-u)=cos(u)

prove

sin (\frac{π}{2} - u) = cos (u)

True

Solution steps

sin (\frac{π}{2} - u) = cos (u)

Manipulating left side

sin (\frac{π}{2} - u)

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (\frac{π}{2} - u)

Use the Angle Difference identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

sin (\frac{π}{2}) cos (u) = cos (u)

sin (\frac{π}{2}) cos (u)

Simplify

sin (\frac{π}{2}) : 1

sin (\frac{π}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{π}{2}) = 1

sin (x)

periodicity table with

= 1

= 1 \cdot cos (u)

Multiply:

1 \cdot cos (u) = cos (u)

= cos (u)

cos (\frac{π}{2}) sin (u) = 0

cos (\frac{π}{2}) sin (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 sin (u)

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 0

= cos (u) - 0

cos (u) - 0 = cos (u)

= cos (u)

= cos (u)

= cos (u)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True

csc (θ) = \frac{cot ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

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

(5 sin (θ) + 5 cos (θ))^{2} = 25 + 25 sin (2 θ)

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

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