Theorem
- $\csc \left({x + \dfrac \pi 2}\right) = \sec x$
Proof
\(\ds \csc \left({x + \frac \pi 2}\right)\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 1 {\sin \left({x + \frac \pi 2}\right)}\) | Cosecant is Reciprocal of Sine | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 1 {\cos x}\) | Sine of Angle plus Right Angle | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \sec x\) | Secant is Reciprocal of Cosine |
$\blacksquare$
