(sin(x)+cos(x))^2=1^2

Solution

(sin (x) + cos (x))^{2} = 1^{2}

Solution

x = 2 πn + π, x = 2 πn + \frac{3 π}{2}, x = 2 πn, x = 2 πn + \frac{π}{2}

Degrees

x = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

(sin (x) + cos (x))^{2} = 1^{2}

Subtract

1^{2}

from both sides

(sin (x) + cos (x))^{2} - 1 = 0

Factor

(sin (x) + cos (x))^{2} - 1 : (sin (x) + cos (x) + 1) (sin (x) + cos (x) - 1)

(sin (x) + cos (x))^{2} - 1

Rewrite

1

1^{2}

= (sin (x) + cos (x))^{2} - 1^{2}

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

x^{2} - y^{2} = (x + y) (x - y)

(sin (x) + cos (x))^{2} - 1^{2} = ((sin (x) + cos (x)) + 1) ((sin (x) + cos (x)) - 1)

= ((sin (x) + cos (x)) + 1) ((sin (x) + cos (x)) - 1)

Refine

= (sin (x) + cos (x) + 1) (sin (x) + cos (x) - 1)

(sin (x) + cos (x) + 1) (sin (x) + cos (x) - 1) = 0

Solving each part separately

sin (x) + cos (x) + 1 = 0 or sin (x) + cos (x) - 1 = 0

sin (x) + cos (x) + 1 = 0 : x = 2 πn + π, x = 2 πn + \frac{3 π}{2}

sin (x) + cos (x) + 1 = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (x) + cos (x) + 1

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})

= 1 + 2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4})

1 + 2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4}) = 0

Move

1

to the right side

1 + 2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4}) = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

1 + 2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4}) - 1 = 0 - 1

Simplify

2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4}) = - 1

2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4}) = - 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4}) = - 1

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 sin ( x + \frac{π}{4} )}{2} = \frac{- 1}{2}
