√(sinx-√(sinx+cosx))=cosx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the actual question? they are not equal

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

These are equal only when $$ x = \cfrac{1}{2} (4 \pi n+\pi), n \in \mathbb{Z} $$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you must prove that they are equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is my proof: let \(x=0\) then the left hand side is \(-1\) and the right hand side is \(1\) so they are definitely not equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you write it step by step?

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

$$ \sin(x)-\sqrt{\sin x + \cos x}=\cos^2x\\ -\sqrt{\sin x + \cos x}=\cos^2x-\sin x\\ \sin x + \cos x=\left (\cos^2x-\sin x\right )^2\\ \sin x + \cos x=\cos^4x-2\cos^2x\sin x+\sin^2x\\ 1=\cfrac{\cos^2x(\cos^2x-2\sin x)+\sin^2x}{\sin x + \cos x}\\ \implies 1=\cfrac{\cos^2x-2\sin x}{\sin x+\cos x}\text{ and }\\ \qquad 1=\cfrac{1}{\sin x+\cos x} $$ Which can only occur if $$ x = \cfrac{1}{2} (4 \pi n+\pi), n\in \mathbb{Z}. $$

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes, (got disconected) what satelline said, but differently let x=90 Cos90=0 Sin90=1 So we get 1=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[you wrote 1=(\cos^2⁡x (\cos^2 x-2sinx)+\sin^2⁡x)/(sinx+cosx) then 1=\frac{ \cos^2⁡x-\sin^2⁡x}{ sinx+cosx} how?\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you can use ~ as a space in equations. Also, try to substitute 90 for x, that's what satellite was talking about. ( Sin90=1 and Cos90=0 )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no you can't to substitute 90 for x,you must to prove this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should solve this

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

maybe I was reading the problem wrong?\[\sqrt{Sinx-\sqrt{Sinx+Cosx}}=Cosx\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it's right

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

square both sides\[sinx-\sqrt{sinxcosx}=\cos^2x\] subtract sinx from both sides\[-\sqrt{sinxcosx}=Cos^2x-Sinx\] \[So~~far~~so~~good?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[Squar e~~both~~sides~~~~~~~~sinxcosx=Cos^4x-2Cos^2xSinx+Sin^2x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where is +? sinx+cosx

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

- is also squared.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

(-2)^2=4 not -4

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, but you right sinxcosx it' false you didn't write + sinx+cosx

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

When there is a number, let say 2 it is same as +2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sin x+\cos x\]=\[\cos^{4} x-2\cos^{2} x \sin +\sin^{2} \] then?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

that's the problem?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I simplified till\[sinxcosx=\cos^4x+\cos^2xsinx+Sin^2x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[-sinx^2+sinxcosx=\cos^4x+\cos^2xsinx\]\[-sinx^2+sinxcosx~~~~~~~~->~~~~~~~~-sinx(sinx-cosx)\]divide both sides by sinx\[-sinx+\cos=\cos^4/sinx~~+~~\cos^2x\]\[-sinx+cosx=\cos^3xcotx+\cos^2x\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[-sinx=\cos^3cotx+\cos^2x-cosx\]\[-sinx=cosx(\cos^2xcotx+cosx-1)\]\[-tanx=\cos^2xcotx+cosx-1\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[-tanx=cosx(cotx+cosx-secx)\]\[-sinx=cotx+cosx-secx\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

it's kind of taking too long, ik.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{\sin x-\sqrt{sinx+\cos x }}=cosx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's prove?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no.you'll solve this
