Use the fact that for all $\theta, \sin \left(\frac{\pi^R}{2}-\theta\right)=\cos \theta$ and $\cos \left(\frac{\pi^R}{2}-\theta\right)=\sin \theta$ to prove that if a point $\mathbf{S}\left(x_1, y_1\right)$ has polar coordinates $(r, \theta)$ and a point $\mathbf{T}\left(x_2, y_2\right)$ has polar coordinates $\left(r, \frac{\pi^R}{2}-\theta\right)$, then $x_1=y_2$ and $y_1=x_2$.

Key Concepts

Polar Coordinates

A polar coordinate system represents points in the plane by their distance from the origin (r) and the angle (?) measured from the positive x-axis. The conversion formulas x = r cos? and y = r sin? allow us to express these points in the rectangular coordinate system, making it possible to analyze and compare positions across different coordinate systems.

Cofunction Identities

Cofunction identities reveal that the sine and cosine of complementary angles are equal to each other, specifically, sin(?/2 - ?) = cos? and cos(?/2 - ?) = sin?. These identities provide a critical tool for transforming expressions involving trigonometric functions and are essential when comparing points whose angular measures are complementary, as in the conversion between polar coordinates with complementary angles.
