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)

How to do this does anyone know if u do i will make u brainlist
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Those functions are for a graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can compare them by heading to a website like desmos and plugging in each function, I think they even do tables as well.

These are functions that can be graphed, I assume you know what that is, if not, look it up.

good luck
