sinx +cosx =1
I don't know if it works :S First square both sides \[sinx +cosx =1\]\[(sinx +cosx)^2 =1^2\]\[(sinx)^2 +2sinxcosx+(cosx)^2 =1\]\[1+sin2x=1\]\[sin2x=0\]2x=0 or 2x=360 x =0 or x=180 (in degree)
us 1=sin^2 x +cos^2 x
well im not so sure about this but i think the possible answers are 0 and 90 for 0: sin0=0 cos0=1 so sin0+cos0=1 for 90: sin90=1 cos90=0 so sin90+cos90 =1
* ammendments: sin2x =0 2x=0 or 2x =180 or 2x =360 x=0 or x=90 or x =180
Nope.... it doesn't work when x=180, so reject it!!!
Start again... Square both sides \[(sinx+cosx)^2 =1^2\]\[(sinx)^2+2sinxcosx+(cosx)^2 =1\]\[1+2sinxcosx =1\]\[2sinxcosx =0\]\[sin2x =0\]2x=0 or 2x=180 or 2x=360 x =0 or x=90 or x =180 (rejected) therefore x=0 or x=90 (in degrees)
thanks guys!
