Question

Use the trigonometric subtraction formula for sine to verify this identity: sin((π / 2) – x) = cos x

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$sin (\frac{\pi}{2} - x) = cos x \\\\ sin (a - b) = sin a.cos b - sin b.cos a \\\\ sin (\frac{\pi}{2} - x) = sin \frac{\pi}{2}.cos x - sin x.cos \frac{\pi}{2} \\\\ sin \frac{\pi}{2} = 1; cos \frac{\pi}{2} = 0 \\\\ sin (\frac{\pi}{2} - x) = 1.cos x - sin x.0 \\\\ sin (\frac{\pi}{2} - x) = cos x$
