prove tan(pi+x)=tan(x)

Solution

prove

tan (π + x) = tan (x)

Solution

True

Solution steps

tan (π + x) = tan (x)

Manipulating left side

tan (π + x)

Rewrite using trig identities

tan (π + x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= \frac{sin ( π + x )}{cos ( π + x )}

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

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

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

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

sin (π) cos (x) + cos (π) sin (x)

sin (π) cos (x) = 0

sin (π) cos (x)

Simplify

sin (π) : 0

sin (π)

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (π) = 0

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

We showed that the two sides could take the same form
