Theorem

$\map \sin {x + \dfrac {3 \pi} 2} = -\cos x$


Proof

\(\ds \map \sin {x + \frac {3 \pi} 2}\) \(=\) \(\ds \sin x \cos \frac {3 \pi} 2 + \cos x \sin \frac {3 \pi} 2\) Sine of Sum
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \sin x \cdot 0 + \cos x \cdot \paren {-1}\) Cosine of Three Right Angles and Sine of Three Right Angles
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds -\cos x\)

$\blacksquare$
