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)

Solve for x in the equation x² + 14x + 17 = - 96
gavmur [86]

Answer:

Solutions of x are;

x = -7 + 8i and x = -7 -8i

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation: x^2+14x+17 = -96

Add 96 both sides we get;

x^2+14x+17+96 = 0

x^2+14x+113= 0

Using quadratic formula ax^2+bx+c = 0 then the solution is given by:

x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

On comparing we have;

a= 1,  b =14 and c =113

x = \frac{-14\pm\sqrt{(14)^2-4(1)(113)}}{2(1)}

x = \frac{-14\pm\sqrt{196-452}}{2}

or

x = \frac{-14\pm\sqrt{-256}}{2}

Simplify:

x = \frac{-14\pm 16i}{2} ;  where i is the imaginary, i^2= -1

or

x = -7 \pm 8i

Therefore,  the solution of x are;  x = -7 + 8i and x = -7 -8i
