prove cos(x+2pi)=cos(x)

prove

cos (x + 2 π) = cos (x)

True

Solution steps

cos (x + 2 π) = cos (x)

Manipulating left side

cos (x + 2 π)

Rewrite using trig identities

cos (x + 2 π)

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= cos (x) cos (2 π) - sin (x) sin (2 π)

Simplify

cos (x) cos (2 π) - sin (x) sin (2 π) : cos (x)

cos (x) cos (2 π) - sin (x) sin (2 π)

cos (x) cos (2 π) = cos (x)

cos (x) cos (2 π)

cos (2 π) = 1

cos (2 π)

cos (2 π) = cos (0)

cos (2 π)

Rewrite

2 π

2 π + 0

= cos (2 π + 0)

Apply the periodicity of

cos

cos (x + 2 π) = cos (x)

cos (2 π + 0) = cos (0)

= cos (0)

= cos (0)

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (0) = 1

cos (0)

cos (x)

= 1

= 1

= 1 \cdot cos (x)

Multiply:

cos (x) \cdot 1 = cos (x)

= cos (x)

sin (x) sin (2 π) = 0

sin (x) sin (2 π)

sin (2 π) = 0

sin (2 π)

sin (2 π) = sin (0)

sin (2 π)

Rewrite

2 π

2 π + 0

= sin (2 π + 0)

Apply the periodicity of

sin

sin (x + 2 π) = sin (x)

sin (2 π + 0) = sin (0)

= sin (0)

= sin (0)

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (0) = 0

sin (0)

= 0

= 0

= 0 \cdot sin (x)

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 0

= cos (x) - 0

cos (x) - 0 = cos (x)

= cos (x)

= cos (x)

= cos (x)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
