prove sin(x-pi/2)+sin(x+pi/2)=0

Solution

prove

sin (x - \frac{π}{2}) + sin (x + \frac{π}{2}) = 0

Solution

True

Solution steps

sin (x - \frac{π}{2}) + sin (x + \frac{π}{2}) = 0

Manipulating left side

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

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (x - \frac{π}{2})

Use the Angle Difference identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

sin (x) cos (\frac{π}{2}) = 0

sin (x) cos (\frac{π}{2})

Simplify

cos (\frac{π}{2}) : 0

cos (\frac{π}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{π}{2}) = 0

0 - cos (x) = - cos (x)

= - cos (x)

= - cos (x)

= - cos (x) + sin (x + \frac{π}{2})

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (x + \frac{π}{2})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

sin (x) cos (\frac{π}{2}) = 0

= - cos (x) + cos (x)

Add similar elements:

- cos (x) + cos (x) = 0

= 0

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
