prove sin((5pi)/2+x)=cos(x)

prove

sin (\frac{5 π}{2} + x) = cos (x)

True

Solution steps

sin (\frac{5 π}{2} + x) = cos (x)

Manipulating left side

sin (\frac{5 π}{2} + x)

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (\frac{5 π}{2} + x)

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= sin (\frac{5 π}{2}) cos (x) + cos (\frac{5 π}{2}) sin (x)

Simplify

sin (\frac{5 π}{2}) cos (x) + cos (\frac{5 π}{2}) sin (x) : cos (x)

sin (\frac{5 π}{2}) cos (x) + cos (\frac{5 π}{2}) sin (x)

sin (\frac{5 π}{2}) cos (x) = cos (x)

sin (\frac{5 π}{2}) cos (x)

sin (\frac{5 π}{2}) = 1

sin (\frac{5 π}{2})

sin (\frac{5 π}{2}) = sin (\frac{π}{2})

sin (\frac{5 π}{2})

Rewrite

\frac{5 π}{2}

2 π + \frac{π}{2}

= sin (2 π + \frac{π}{2})

Apply the periodicity of

sin

sin (x + 2 π) = sin (x)

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

= sin (\frac{π}{2})

= sin (\frac{π}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{π}{2}) = 1

sin (\frac{π}{2})

sin (x)

= 1

= 1

= 1 \cdot cos (x)

Multiply:

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

= cos (x)

cos (\frac{5 π}{2}) sin (x) = 0

cos (\frac{5 π}{2}) sin (x)

cos (\frac{5 π}{2}) = 0

cos (\frac{5 π}{2})

cos (\frac{5 π}{2}) = cos (\frac{π}{2})

cos (\frac{5 π}{2})

Rewrite

\frac{5 π}{2}

2 π + \frac{π}{2}

= cos (2 π + \frac{π}{2})

Apply the periodicity of

cos

cos (x + 2 π) = cos (x)

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

= cos (\frac{π}{2})

= cos (\frac{π}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{π}{2}) = 0

cos (\frac{π}{2})

cos (x)

= 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
