Prove that $$cosleft(ax-frac{bpi}{2}right)=sin(ax)$$
for all $a$, $b$.




I tried expanding the right side using the angle subtraction formula, but that didn't help much. Any help?

    This is not true, just take $b=0$, then $cos (ax)$ is not equal to $sin (ax)$ for all $a$.

The formula is true for all $a$ and $x$ if and only if $b=(4n+1)$ for some integer $n$. [If $b$ is of this type use the formula $cos(A+B)=cos (A) cos(B)-sin (A) sin (B)$].

  • $begingroup$
    If $b = frac{left(4n+1right)pi}{2}$, then $-frac{bpi}{2} = -frac{left(4n+1right)pi^2}{4}$. I believe you need to remove the $pi$ from your formula.

If $$cosleft(ax-dfrac{bpi}2right)=sin(ax)=cosleft(dfrac{pi}2-axright)$$



$ax-dfrac{bpi}2=2mpipmleft(dfrac{pi}2-axright)$ where $m$ is any integer



$iff2ax-b=4mpm(1-2ax)$



$-implies2ax-b=4m-(1-2x)iff b=1-4m$



$+implies2ax-b=4m+1-2axiff4ax-b=4m+1$



which is dependent on $x$ hence can not be held for all $a,b$

    If
    $$cosleft(ax-frac{bpi}{2}right)=sin(ax)$$ is true, it means that
    $$f(x)=cosleft(ax-frac{bpi}{2}right)-sin(ax)$$ is $0$.



    So, consider small values of $x$ and use series expansion to get
    $$f(x)=cos left(frac{pi b}{2}right)+x left(a sin left(frac{pi
    b}{2}right)-aright)-frac{1}{2} x^2 left(a^2 cos left(frac{pi
    b}{2}right)right)+frac{1}{6} x^3 left(a^3-a^3 sin left(frac{pi
    b}{2}right)right)+Oleft(x^4right)$$



    This would imply
    $$cos left(frac{pi b}{2}right)=0 implies b=4n+1$$ and if $b=4n+1$ all terms properly cancel.

                  b}{2}right)right)+Oleft(x^4right)$$



                  This would imply
                  $$cos left(frac{pi b}{2}right)=0 implies b=4n+1$$ and if $b=4n+1$ all terms properly cancel.
