Solution

tan (\frac{π}{2} - θ) = cos (- θ)

Solution

θ = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Degrees

θ = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

tan (\frac{π}{2} - θ) = cos (- θ)

Rewrite using trig identities

tan (\frac{π}{2} - θ) = cos (- θ)

Rewrite using trig identities

tan (\frac{π}{2} - θ)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

tan (x) = \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{sin ( \frac{π}{2} - θ )}{cos ( \frac{π}{2} - θ )}

Use the Angle Difference identity:

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

= \frac{sin ( \frac{π}{2} ) cos ( θ ) - cos ( \frac{π}{2} ) sin ( θ )}{cos ( \frac{π}{2} - θ )}

Use the Angle Difference identity:

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

= \frac{sin ( \frac{π}{2} ) cos ( θ ) - cos ( \frac{π}{2} ) sin ( θ )}{cos ( \frac{π}{2} ) cos ( θ ) + sin ( \frac{π}{2} ) sin ( θ )}

Simplify

\frac{sin ( \frac{π}{2} ) cos ( θ ) - cos ( \frac{π}{2} ) sin ( θ )}{cos ( \frac{π}{2} ) cos ( θ ) + sin ( \frac{π}{2} ) sin ( θ )} : \frac{cos ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}

\frac{sin ( \frac{π}{2} ) cos ( θ ) - cos ( \frac{π}{2} ) sin ( θ )}{cos ( \frac{π}{2} ) cos ( θ ) + sin ( \frac{π}{2} ) sin ( θ )}

sin (\frac{π}{2}) cos (θ) - cos (\frac{π}{2}) sin (θ) = cos (θ)

sin (\frac{π}{2}) cos (θ) - cos (\frac{π}{2}) sin (θ)

sin (\frac{π}{2}) cos (θ) = cos (θ)

= 1 \cdot sin (θ)

Multiply:

1 \cdot sin (θ) = sin (θ)

= sin (θ)

= 0 + sin (θ)

0 + sin (θ) = sin (θ)

= sin (θ)

= \frac{cos ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}

= \frac{cos ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}

\frac{cos ( θ )}{sin ( θ )} = cos (θ)

\frac{cos ( θ )}{sin ( θ )} = cos (θ)

Subtract

cos (θ)

from both sides

\frac{cos ( θ )}{sin ( θ )} - cos (θ) = 0

Simplify

\frac{cos ( θ )}{sin ( θ )} - cos (θ) : \frac{cos ( θ ) - cos ( θ ) sin ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}

\frac{cos ( θ )}{sin ( θ )} - cos (θ)

Convert element to fraction:

cos (θ) = \frac{cos ( θ ) sin ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}

= \frac{cos ( θ )}{sin ( θ )} - \frac{cos ( θ ) sin ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{cos ( θ ) - cos ( θ ) sin ( θ )}{sin ( θ )}

\frac{cos ( θ ) - cos ( θ ) sin ( θ )}{sin ( θ )} = 0

\frac{f ( x )}{g ( x )} = 0 \Rightarrow f (x) = 0

cos (θ) - cos (θ) sin (θ) = 0

Factor

cos (θ) - cos (θ) sin (θ) : - cos (θ) (sin (θ) - 1)

cos (θ) - cos (θ) sin (θ)

Factor out common term

- cos (θ)

= - cos (θ) (- 1 + sin (θ))

- cos (θ) (sin (θ) - 1) = 0

Solving each part separately

cos (θ) = 0 or sin (θ) - 1 = 0

cos (θ) = 0 : θ = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn
