prove cos(x+pi/6)=-sin(x-pi/3)

Solution

prove

cos (x + \frac{π}{6}) = - sin (x - \frac{π}{3})

Solution

True

Solution steps

cos (x + \frac{π}{6}) = - sin (x - \frac{π}{3})

Manipulating left side

cos (x + \frac{π}{6})

Rewrite using trig identities

cos (x + \frac{π}{6})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= cos (x) cos (\frac{π}{6}) - sin (x) sin (\frac{π}{6})

Simplify

cos (x) cos (\frac{π}{6}) - sin (x) sin (\frac{π}{6}) : \frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{1}{2} sin (x)

cos (x) cos (\frac{π}{6}) - sin (x) sin (\frac{π}{6})

Simplify

cos (\frac{π}{6}) : \frac{3}{2}

cos (\frac{π}{6})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{π}{6}) = \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{1}{2} sin (x)

= \frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{1}{2} sin (x)

= \frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{1}{2} sin (x)

Manipulating right side

- sin (x - \frac{π}{3})

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (x - \frac{π}{3})

Use the Angle Difference identity:

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

= sin (x) cos (\frac{π}{3}) - cos (x) sin (\frac{π}{3})

Simplify

sin (x) cos (\frac{π}{3}) - cos (x) sin (\frac{π}{3}) : \frac{1}{2} sin (x) - \frac{3}{2} cos (x)

sin (x) cos (\frac{π}{3}) - cos (x) sin (\frac{π}{3})

Simplify

cos (\frac{π}{3}) : \frac{1}{2}

cos (\frac{π}{3})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{π}{3}) = \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{1}{2} sin (x) - sin (\frac{π}{3}) cos (x)

Simplify

sin (\frac{π}{3}) : \frac{3}{2}

sin (\frac{π}{3})

Use the following trivial identity:

= \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{1}{2} sin (x) - \frac{3}{2} cos (x)

= \frac{1}{2} sin (x) - \frac{3}{2} cos (x)

= - (\frac{1}{2} sin (x) - \frac{3}{2} cos (x))

Simplify

- (\frac{1}{2} sin (x) - \frac{3}{2} cos (x)) : - \frac{1}{2} sin (x) + \frac{3}{2} cos (x)

- (\frac{1}{2} sin (x) - \frac{3}{2} cos (x))

Distribute parentheses

= - (\frac{1}{2} sin (x)) - (- \frac{3}{2} cos (x))

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a, - (a) = - a

= - \frac{1}{2} sin (x) + \frac{3}{2} cos (x)

= - \frac{1}{2} sin (x) + \frac{3}{2} cos (x)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
