prove sin(pi/2+a)=cos(a)

prove

sin (\frac{π}{2} + a) = cos (a)

True

Solution steps

sin (\frac{π}{2} + a) = cos (a)

Manipulating left side

sin (\frac{π}{2} + a)

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (\frac{π}{2} + a)

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

sin (\frac{π}{2}) cos (a) = cos (a)

sin (\frac{π}{2}) cos (a)

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 (a)

Multiply:

1 \cdot cos (a) = cos (a)

= cos (a)

cos (\frac{π}{2}) sin (a) = 0

cos (\frac{π}{2}) sin (a)

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 (a)

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 0

= cos (a) + 0

cos (a) + 0 = cos (a)

= cos (a)

= cos (a)

= cos (a)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True

2 sin^{2} (x) - cos (x) - 2 = 0

csc (t) - sin (t) = cot (t) \cdot cos (t)

\frac{tan ( θ ) + 6}{sec ( θ )} = 6 cos (θ) + sin (θ)

sin (x) + 5 = 4

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