prove cos(pi/2-x)csc(x)=1

prove

cos (\frac{π}{2} - x) csc (x) = 1

True

Solution steps

cos (\frac{π}{2} - x) csc (x) = 1

Manipulating left side

cos (\frac{π}{2} - x) csc (x)

Rewrite using trig identities

cos (\frac{π}{2} - x)

Use the Angle Difference identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

cos (\frac{π}{2}) cos (x) = 0

cos (\frac{π}{2}) cos (x)

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 (x)

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 0

sin (\frac{π}{2}) sin (x) = sin (x)

sin (\frac{π}{2}) sin (x)

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 (x)

Multiply:

1 \cdot sin (x) = sin (x)

= sin (x)

= 0 + sin (x)

0 + sin (x) = sin (x)

= sin (x)

= sin (x)

= sin (x) csc (x)

Express with sin, cos

csc (x) sin (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

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

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

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

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Cancel the common factor:

sin (x)

= 1

= 1

= 1

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True

csc (x) - sec (x) sin^{2} (x) = cos (x)

tan^{2} (x) + 4 = sec^{2} (x) + 3

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

sin (x - \frac{π}{2}) = cos (x)

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