Answer:

19.
(3\pi)/(2)

20. The work is the answer

Explanation:

19. We begin with the equation (for my ease, I will swap theta with x)


sin(x)+1=cos^(2) (x)

First, we can use the Pythagorean Identity to substitute in
1-sin^(2) (x) for
cos^(2) (x)

This gives us


sin(x)+1=1-sin^(2) (x)

Next, we can subtract 1 from each side


sin(x)=-sin^(2) (x)

Now, we can divide each side by
sin(x)


1=-sin(x)

Now we move the negative to the other side


sin(x)=-1

Now we can do the inverse of sin to find our value


x=sin^(-1) (-1)

With this inverse, we are looking for an angle that has the sin (or the y value) of -1. As this is an inverse sin function, it has the domain restriction of


[-(\pi )/(2) ,(\pi )/(2)].

From this information, we find that
x=-(\pi)/(2)

But this answer does not fit the initial interval that we were given. Luckily,
(3\pi)/(2) is the same location as
(\pi)/(2), so that is our answer.

20. We begin with the expression
sin(360-x) and we have to prove that it is equal to
-sin(x)

First, we need to use the Difference of 2 Angles Trig Identity. This says:


sin(\alpha -\beta )=sin(\alpha) cos(\beta) -cos(\alpha) sin(\beta)

When we apply this to our expression, we get


sin(360) cos(x) -cos(360) sin(x)

Next, we can simplify our the two finite aspects


sin(360)=0\\\\cos(360)=1

When we plug in these two values, we get


(0) cos(x) -(1) sin(x)

This simplifies to
-sin(x) which is what we were trying to verify.
