sin(x)-cos(x)=1,0<= x<2pi

Solution

sin (x) - cos (x) = 1, 0 \leq x < 2 π

Solution

x = \frac{π}{2}, x = π

Degrees

x = 9 0^{\circ}, x = 18 0^{\circ}

Solution steps

sin (x) - cos (x) = 1, 0 \leq x < 2 π

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}) = 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}

Simplify

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

\frac{1}{2}

Multiply by the conjugate

\frac{2}{2}

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

1 \cdot 2 = 2

22 = 2

22

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

22 = 2

= 2

= \frac{2}{2}

sin (x - \frac{π}{4}) = \frac{2}{2}

sin (x - \frac{π}{4}) = \frac{2}{2}

sin (x - \frac{π}{4}) = \frac{2}{2}
