Theorem

$\map \tan {x + \dfrac {3 \pi} 2} = -\cot x$


Proof

\(\ds \map \tan {x + \frac {3 \pi} 2}\) \(=\) \(\ds \frac {\map \sin {x + \frac {3 \pi} 2} } {\map \cos {x + \frac {3 \pi} 2} }\) Tangent is Sine divided by Cosine
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \frac {-\cos x} {\sin x}\) Sine of Angle plus Three Right Angles and Cosine of Angle plus Three Right Angles
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds -\cot x\) Cotangent is Cosine divided by Sine

$\blacksquare$
