i guess it depends on what you can use
if you can use the addition angle formula, that would work
if not maybe with a triangle you can see it
mathslover (mathslover):
i want to do with the triangle one but m wondering how will you show (90+theta) in a right angled triangle?

mathslover (mathslover):
yes but that is 90 - theta? do 90-theta has any relation with 90 + theta ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\cos(x)=\frac{a}{c}=\sin(90-x)=-\sin(x-90)\]
\[=\sin(x-90+180)=\sin(x+90)\]

how : -sin(x-90) = sin(x-90+180) ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
third equal sign because sine is odd, fourth because \(\sin(x)=-\sin(x+180)\)
mathslover (mathslover):
Gotcha now, thanks a lot!

your on the other side of the unit circle |dw:1350098472701:dw|

hey, how you did this step? :
\[\large{-\sin(x-90) = sin(x-90+180) }\]
?
mathslover (mathslover):
@satellite73 did you subtract sin(180) both sides?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i added 180 inside because \(\sin(x)=-\sin(x+180)\)
mathslover (mathslover):
oh k , got it!
