Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are working in the domain of real numbers. . We are using the unit circle definition of trigonometric functions.
3. We are using radians as the measure of angles.
4. We know the values of sine, cosine, tangent, and their reciprocal functions at common angles.

STEP 2

We will evaluate each option one by one. Let's start with option A. We know that sinπ=2\sin \frac{\pi}{}=\frac{\sqrt{}}{2} and cosπ6=2\cos \frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{\sqrt{}}{2}.

STEP 3

Since both sides of the equation in option A are equal, option A is a valid equation.

STEP 4

Now, let's evaluate option B. We know that sinπ4=22\sin \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} and cosπ4=22\cos \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}.

STEP 5

Since both sides of the equation in option B are equal, option B is a valid equation.

STEP 6

Now, let's evaluate option C. We know that cscπ6=2\csc \frac{\pi}{6}=2 and cosπ3=12\cos \frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{1}{2}.

STEP 7

Since both sides of the equation in option C are not equal, option C is not a valid equation.

STEP 8

We could stop here since we have found the invalid equation. But for completeness, let's evaluate option D. We know that tanπ4=1\tan \frac{\pi}{4}=1 and cotπ4=1\cot \frac{\pi}{4}=1.

STEP 9

Since both sides of the equation in option D are equal, option D is a valid equation.
The invalid equation is option C cscπ6=cosπ3\csc \frac{\pi}{6}=\cos \frac{\pi}{3}.
