prove (tan(x)sec(-x))cos(x)=sin(x)-1

prove

(tan (x) sec (- x)) cos (x) = sin (x) - 1

False

Solution steps

tan (x) sec (- x) cos (x) = sin (x) - 1

Show that the two sides are not equal

For

tan (x) sec (- x) cos (x) = sin (x) - 1

plug in

x = 0

tan (0) sec (- 0) cos (0) = 0

tan (0) sec (- 0) cos (0)

Use the following trivial identity:

tan (0) = 0

tan (0)

tan (x)

periodicity table with

πn

cycle:

x 0 \frac{π}{6} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{2} \frac{2 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{4} \frac{5 π}{6} tan (x) 0 \frac{3}{3} 13 \pm \infty - 3 - 1 - \frac{3}{3}

= 0 \cdot sec (- 0) cos (0)

= 0 \cdot sec (- 0) cos (0)

Simplify

= 0

sin (0) - 1 = - 1

sin (0) - 1

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (0) = 0

sin (0)

sin (x)

periodicity table with

2 πn

cycle:

x 0 \frac{π}{6} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{2} \frac{2 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{4} \frac{5 π}{6} sin (x) 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2} 1 \frac{3}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{1}{2} x π \frac{7 π}{6} \frac{5 π}{4} \frac{4 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{2} \frac{5 π}{3} \frac{7 π}{4} \frac{11 π}{6} sin (x) 0 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2}

= 0

= 0 - 1

Simplify

= - 1

The two sides are not equal

\Rightarrow False
