Tan(x+pi/2)= negative cot x

Mathematics

DIA [1.3K]3 years ago

I'm only going to alter the left hand side. The right side will stay the same the entire time

I'll use the identity tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) and cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x)
I'll also use sin(x+y) = sin(x)cos(y)+cos(x)sin(y) and cos(x+y) = cos(x)cos(y)-sin(x)sin(y)

So with that in mind, this is how the steps would look:

tan(x+pi/2) = -cot x
sin(x+pi/2)/cos(x+pi/2) = -cot x
(sin(x)cos(pi/2)+cos(x)sin(pi/2))/(cos(x)cos(pi/2)-sin(x)sin(pi/2)) = -cot x
(sin(x)*0+cos(x)*1)/(cos(x)*0-sin(x)*1) = -cot x
(0+cos(x))/(-sin(x)-0) = -cot x
(cos(x))/(-sin(x)) = -cot x
-cot x = -cot x

Identity is confirmed

Answer:

97°

It would be 97° because anything higher than 90 is obtuse and it couldnt be 180 because 180 would be a straight angle

hope this helps
