\text{For how many values of n with } 0\le n\le 100 \text{ is the graph of} f(x) = \sin \left(x + n\right) \text{ identical to the graph of } g(x) = \cos x?
\(\text{For how many values of n with } 0\le n\le 100 \text{ is the graph of}\\ f(x) = \sin \left(x + n\right) \text{ identical to the graph of } g(x) = \cos x? \)
\( 0\le n\le 100 \\ 0\le n\le 31.83\pi \\ \)
\(sin0=cos(0+\pi/2)\quad \text{then it will work every 2pi after that}\\ n=\frac{\pi}{2},\;\;\frac{5\pi}{2},\;\;\frac{9\pi}{2},\;\;.....\frac{61\pi}{2}\\ 1,5,9,4c-3, 4*16-3\\ \text{so that appears to be 16 times.} \)

(I do admit that this is not the best of algebraic answers)
Here is a video on it

You do not need to watch the whole thing. Just go through the first example and relate it to your example.
The rules only apply to the segments between the parallel lines (on the transversals) so one of the above can be ruled out on that.
Which one?
Answer that and try and then think about why 2 more can be ruled out fairly easily.
Only one will be left.
