sin(θ+1)=cos(θ)

Solution

sin (θ + 1) = cos (θ)

Solution

θ = - 2 πn - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{π}{4}, θ = - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3 π}{4} - 2 πn

Degrees

θ = 16.35211 \dots^{\circ} - 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = - 163.64788 \dots^{\circ} - 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sin (θ + 1) = cos (θ)

Subtract

cos (θ)

from both sides

sin (θ + 1) - cos (θ) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- cos (θ) + sin (1 + θ)

Use the following identity:

sin (x) = cos (\frac{π}{2} - x)

= - cos (θ) + cos (\frac{π}{2} - (1 + θ))

- (1 + θ) : - 1 - θ

- (1 + θ)

Distribute parentheses

= - (1) - (θ)

Apply minus-plus rules

+ (- a) = - a

= - 1 - θ

= - cos (θ) + cos (\frac{π}{2} - 1 - θ)

Use the Sum to Product identity:

cos (s) - cos (t) = - 2 sin (\frac{s + t}{2}) sin (\frac{s - t}{2})

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

Simplify

- 2 sin (\frac{- 1 + \frac{π}{2} - θ + θ}{2}) sin (\frac{- 1 + \frac{π}{2} - θ - θ}{2}) : - 2 sin (\frac{- 2 + π}{4}) sin (\frac{- 2 + π - 4 θ}{4})

- 2 sin (\frac{- 1 + \frac{π}{2} - θ + θ}{2}) sin (\frac{- 1 + \frac{π}{2} - θ - θ}{2})

\frac{- 1 + \frac{π}{2} - θ + θ}{2} = \frac{- 2 + π}{4}

\frac{- 1 + \frac{π}{2} - θ + θ}{2}

Add similar elements:

- θ + θ = 0

= \frac{- 1 + \frac{π}{2}}{2}

Join

- 1 + \frac{π}{2} : \frac{- 2 + π}{2}

- 1 + \frac{π}{2}

Convert element to fraction:

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

= - \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2} + \frac{π}{2}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{- 1 \cdot 2 + π}{2}

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 2 = 2

= \frac{- 2 + π}{2}

= \frac{\frac{- 2 + π}{2}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{- 2 + π}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{- 2 + π}{4}

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

\frac{- 1 + \frac{π}{2} - θ - θ}{2} = \frac{- 2 + π - 4 θ}{4}

\frac{- 1 + \frac{π}{2} - θ - θ}{2}

Add similar elements:

- θ - θ = - 2 θ

= \frac{- 1 + \frac{π}{2} - 2 θ}{2}

Join

- 1 + \frac{π}{2} - 2 θ : \frac{- 2 + π - 4 θ}{2}

- 1 + \frac{π}{2} - 2 θ

Convert element to fraction:

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

= - \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2} + \frac{π}{2} - \frac{2 θ \cdot 2}{2}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{- 1 \cdot 2 + π - 2 θ \cdot 2}{2}

- 1 \cdot 2 + π - 2 θ \cdot 2 = - 2 + π - 4 θ

- 1 \cdot 2 + π - 2 θ \cdot 2

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 2 = 2

= - 2 + π - 2 \cdot 2 θ

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= - 2 + π - 4 θ

= \frac{- 2 + π - 4 θ}{2}

= \frac{\frac{- 2 + π - 4 θ}{2}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{- 2 + π - 4 θ}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{- 2 + π - 4 θ}{4}

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

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

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

Divide both sides by

- 2 sin (\frac{- 2 + π}{4})

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

Divide both sides by

- 2 sin (\frac{- 2 + π}{4})

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

Simplify

sin (\frac{- 2 + π - 4 θ}{4}) = 0

sin (\frac{- 2 + π - 4 θ}{4}) = 0

\frac{- 2 + π - 4 θ}{4} = 0 + 2 πn, \frac{- 2 + π - 4 θ}{4} = π + 2 πn

Solve

\frac{- 2 + π - 4 θ}{4} = 0 + 2 πn : θ = - 2 πn - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{π}{4}
