Vocaloid:

2nd one on the list, sin(a-b) = sin(pi/2 - x) so a is pi/2 and b is x plug these into sin(a-b) = sin(a)cos(b) - cos(a)sin(b) and simplify using the unit circle values when applicable, your result should be cos(x)

zarkam21:

sin(pi/2 - x) = sin(a)cos(b) - cos(a)sin(b)

Vocaloid:

a is pi/2 and b is x with that being said, what does sin(a)cos(b) - cos(a)sin(b) equal?

zarkam21:

sin(pi/2)cos(x) - cos(pi/2)sin(x)

Vocaloid:

good, now plug in the values for sin(pi/2) and cos(pi/2), what do you get?

Vocaloid:

look at the UC, what are the values of sin(pi/2) and cos(pi/2)?

zarkam21:

0,1

Vocaloid:

good, sin(pi/2) = 1 and cos(pi/2) = 0 now plug these into the equation sin(pi/2)cos(x) - cos(pi/2)sin(x) and simplify your result

zarkam21:

sin(pi/2) = 1 and cos(pi/2) = 0 sin(pi/2)cos(x) - cos(pi/2)sin(x) 1(0)-0-1=

zarkam21:

If I'm doing this right :/

Vocaloid:

keep in mind sin(pi/2) = 1 and cos(pi/2) = 0; we don't know what cos(x) and sin(x) are so you must leave them alone

zarkam21:

sin(pi/2) = 1 and cos(pi/2) = 0 sin(pi/2)cos(x) - cos(pi/2)sin(x) 1 (cos x) - 0 (sin x)

Vocaloid:

awesome, and that simplifies to cos(x) thus fulfilling the original proof

zarkam21:

so 1 (cos x )(sin x)

zarkam21:

OH okay
