pi/4
OpenStudy (ghazi):
just use tan x= 1 and solve for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x has to be pi on 4 for both to be equal
OpenStudy (anonymous):
pi/4 and 7pi/4 right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
u cant have 7pi on 4

cause the 4th quadrant is positive for cos values but negative for sin values

ucant...

ou can rewrite sin2x using the double angle formula to get:
cosx = 2*sinx*cosx... subtract cosx on both sides
2sinxcosx - cosx = 0... factor
cosx(2sinx - 1) = 0
Set each factor equal to zero to get two sets of roots:
cosx = 0 ==>
x = {π/2,3π/2}
2sinx - 1 = 0 ==> sinx = 1/2 ==>
x = {π/6, 5π/6}

ur interval is form 0 < x < 2pi

the only x values that is common to both cos x = sin x is when x = pi/4
