prove sin(-x)=sin(x-pi)

prove

sin (- x) = sin (x - π)

True

Solution steps

sin (- x) = sin (x - π)

Manipulating left side

sin (- x)

Use the negative angle identity:

sin (- x) = - sin (x)

= - sin (x)

Manipulating right side

sin (x - π)

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (x - π)

Use the Angle Difference identity:

sin (s - t) = sin (s) cos (t) - cos (s) sin (t)

= sin (x) cos (π) - cos (x) sin (π)

Simplify

sin (x) cos (π) - cos (x) sin (π) : - sin (x)

sin (x) cos (π) - cos (x) sin (π)

sin (x) cos (π) = - sin (x)

sin (x) cos (π)

Simplify

cos (π) : - 1

cos (π)

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (π) = (- 1)

cos (x)

= - 1

= (- 1) sin (x)

Refine

= - sin (x)

= - sin (x) - sin (π) cos (x)

cos (x) sin (π) = 0

cos (x) sin (π)

Simplify

sin (π) : 0

sin (π)

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (π) = 0

sin (x)

= 0

= 0 \cdot cos (x)

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 0

= - sin (x) - 0

- sin (x) - 0 = - sin (x)

= - sin (x)

= - sin (x)

= - sin (x)

We showed that the two sides could take the same form

\Rightarrow True

p ro v e sin (4 a) = 4 sin (a) cos (a) cos (2 a)

p ro v e 3 cos^{2} (x) - 2 = 1 - 3 sin^{2} (x)

p ro v e tan (\frac{a}{2}) = \frac{sin ( a )}{1 + cos ( a )}

p ro v e cos (3 t) = cos^{3} (t) - 3 sin^{2} (t) cos (t)

p ro v e 4 sin (x) cos (x) + 1 = 2 sin (2 x) + 1
