sin2x+cos2x=0 find all solution in 0 is less than or equal to x < 2pi
If it makes it less confusing write it as this: let u=2x (so u/2 =x) I'm going to put this strictly in terms of u like so sin(u)+cos(u)=0 0 <= u/2<2pi (solve for u) sin(u)=-cos(u) 0< =u<4pi so you need to find when sin(u) is the opp of -cos(u) for when u is between 0 and 4pi
use unit circle
http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/43200/43215/unit-circle7_43215_lg.gif here look at the order pairs when are the ordered pairs opposites (ex. opp of 3 is -3; -3 and 3 are opps)
i dont get it
I'm asking you to look at the ordered pairs and tell for which angles they are opposite?
the only time you will have they are opposite is when one is sqrt(2)/2 and the other is -sqrt(2)/2
