Why cos(180+x)= cos(180-x)?

2010-01-25 5:00 am
For example.
when x=30,
cos(180+30)= -0.866025...
cos(180-30)= -0.866025...
cos(180+x)= cos(180-x)


Why cos(180+x)= cos(180-x)?

✔ 最佳答案
Proof:
cos(180+x)= cos(180-x)
LHD=cos(180+x)
= cos180cosx-sin180sinx
=(-1)cosx-(0)sinx
=-cosx
RHS= cos(180-x)
=cos180cosx+sin180sinx
=(-1)cosx+(0)sinx
=-cosx

therefore cos(180+x)= cos(180-x)

cos(180+x)= cos(180-x)
Using the fact cos(360-A) = cosA
cos(180+x)
= cos[360-(180+x)]
= cos(180-x)

Why cos(180+x)= cos(180-x)?
Since cos(180+x) = -cosx [Since 270deg>x>180deg, in qraduant IV]
cos(180-x) = -cosx [Since 180deg >x>90deg , in the quadrant III]
Hence they are equal to each other.

我唔太remember 到果個係quadrant幾
但要知道 270deg>x>180deg 時 tan/cot會係正,,,其他負
而 180deg>x>90deg時sin/csc會係正,其他負
因此conclude到兩個quadrant時個value會一樣[suppose x is the same]
