Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
Question
How can I prove the identity step by step with the rule?
![### Trigonometric Identity Proof
#### Prove the identity:
\[
\frac{\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2} + x\right)}{\cos(\pi + x)} = \tan x
\]
Note that each statement must be based on a rule that should be listed to the right of the statement.

#### Statements and Rules
This section can be used to write down each step taken to prove the above identity along with the rule used for that step.
**Statement** | **Rule**
:------------: | :---------:
\(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2} + x\right)\) | Use \(\cos(\frac{\pi}{2} + x) = -\sin(x)\)
\(\cos(\pi + x)\) | Use \(\cos(\pi + x) = -\cos(x)\)
\(\frac{-\sin(x)}{-\cos(x)}\) | Substitute the expressions obtained above
\(\frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}\) | Simplify by canceling out negative signs
\(\tan(x)\) | Use the identity \(\tan(x) = \frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)}\)
By following these steps, you will successfully prove the given trigonometric identity.
