Given:

[tex]\sin (\frac{3\pi}{2})=-1[/tex]

Using cofunction identities

[tex]\sin \theta=\cos (90-\theta)[/tex]

This implies

[tex]\sin (\frac{3\pi}{2})=\cos (90-\frac{3\pi}{2})[/tex]

Hence

[tex]\cos (90-\frac{3\pi}{2})=-1[/tex]

By radian properties

[tex]90=\frac{\pi}{2}[/tex]

Hence the equation becomes

[tex]\begin{gathered} \cos (\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{3\pi}{2})=-1 \\ \cos (\frac{-2\pi}{2})=-1 \\ \cos (-\pi)=-1 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, one of the values for which cos(Ф)=-1 is

[tex]-\pi[/tex]

The second value is

[tex]-\pi+2\pi=\pi[/tex]

In degree form, two of the possible values are - 180 and 180

By the cofunction relation

[tex]\sin (\theta)=\cos (90-\theta)[/tex]

And

[tex]\cos (\theta)=\sin (90-\theta)[/tex]

The cofunction relation shows that the graph of one trigonometric function is 90 degrees horizontal shift of the other
