Answer:

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

The identity is true

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be verified using multiple methods, for example you can use graphical methods if you know the exact form of the cosine function and the sine function. However, in this case, we are going to use a very useful identity, which is the cosine sum identity. This identity is given by the following equation:

cos(\alpha + \beta)=cos(\alpha)cos(\beta)-sin(\alpha)sin(\beta)

In this case:

\alpha=x\\\beta=\frac{\pi}{2}

So:

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

Where:

cos(\frac{\pi}{2})=0\\\\And\\\\sin(\frac{\pi}{2})=1

Therefore:

cos(x+\frac{\pi}{2} )=cos(x)(0)-sin(x)(1)\\\\cos(x+\frac{\pi}{2} )=-sin(x)

Hello 
cos ( x + pi/2) =cos(x)cos(pi/2)-sin(x) sin(pi/2) 
                       = cos(x)×0-sin(x) ×1
                    cos ( x + pi/2)   = - sin(x)

Answer:

C) 15

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an isosceles triangle (two of the three angles are equal) so two of the sides are also equal. x is the same length as 15.
