prove csc(x)sin(pi/2-x)=cot(x)

Solution

prove

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

Solution

True

Solution steps

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

Manipulating left side

csc (x) sin (\frac{π}{2} - x)

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (\frac{π}{2} - x)

Use the Angle Difference identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

sin (\frac{π}{2}) cos (x) = cos (x)

sin (\frac{π}{2}) cos (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 cos (x)

Multiply:

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

= cos (x)

cos (\frac{π}{2}) sin (x) = 0

cos (\frac{π}{2}) sin (x)

Simplify

cos (\frac{π}{2}) : 0

cos (\frac{π}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{π}{2}) = 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)

= csc (x) cos (x)

Rewrite using trig identities

csc (x) cos (x)

Express with sin, cos

csc (x) cos (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Multiply:

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

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

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

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

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

\frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )} = cot (x)

= cot (x)

= cot (x)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True
