cos(x)+sin(x)=(sqrt(6))/2

Solution

cos (x) + sin (x) = \frac{6}{2}

Solution

x = 2 πn + \frac{π}{12}, x = 2 πn + \frac{5 π}{12}

Degrees

x = 1 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 7 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos (x) + sin (x) = \frac{6}{2}

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (x) + cos (x)

sin (x) + cos (x) = 2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4})

sin (x) + cos (x)

Rewrite as

= 2 (\frac{1}{2} sin (x) + \frac{1}{2} cos (x))

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{π}{4}) = \frac{1}{2}

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{π}{4}) = \frac{1}{2}

= 2 (cos (\frac{π}{4}) sin (x) + sin (\frac{π}{4}) cos (x))

Use the Angle Sum identity:

sin (s + t) = sin (s) cos (t) + cos (s) sin (t)

= 2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4})

= 2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4})

2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4}) = \frac{6}{2}

Divide both sides by

2

2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4}) = \frac{6}{2}

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 sin ( x + \frac{π}{4} )}{2} = \frac{\frac{6}{2}}{2}

Simplify

\frac{2 sin ( x + \frac{π}{4} )}{2} = \frac{\frac{6}{2}}{2}

Simplify

\frac{2 sin ( x + \frac{π}{4} )}{2} : sin (x + \frac{π}{4})

\frac{2 sin ( x + \frac{π}{4} )}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= sin (x + \frac{π}{4})

Simplify

\frac{\frac{6}{2}}{2} : \frac{3}{2}

\frac{\frac{6}{2}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a} = \frac{b}{c \cdot a}

= \frac{6}{2 2}

Rationalize

\frac{6}{2 2} : \frac{3}{2}

\frac{6}{2 2}

Multiply by the conjugate

\frac{2}{2}

= \frac{6 2}{2 2 2}

62 = 23

62

Factor integer

6 = 2 \cdot 3

= 2 \cdot 3 2

Apply radical rule:

2 \cdot 3 = 23

= 232

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

22 = 2

= 23

222 = 4

222

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

222 = 2 \cdot 2^{\frac{1}{2}} \cdot 2^{\frac{1}{2}} = 2^{1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}}

= 2^{1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}}

Add similar elements:

\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2}

= 2^{1 + 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2}}

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 1

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2}

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= 1

= 2^{1 + 1}

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= 2^{2}

2^{2} = 4

= 4

= \frac{2 3}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{3}{2}

sin (x + \frac{π}{4}) = \frac{3}{2}

sin (x + \frac{π}{4}) = \frac{3}{2}
