Answer

The trigonometric Identity is verified. $tan(\frac{\pi}{2}-θ)tan~θ=1$

Work Step by Step

We know that: $tan(\frac{\pi}{2}-θ)=cot~θ~~$ (Cofunction Identity, page 508) $cot~θ=\frac{1}{tan~θ}$ Start at the left side of the equation: $tan(\frac{\pi}{2}-θ)tan~θ=cot~θ~tan~θ=\frac{1}{tan~θ}~tan~θ=1$
