arccos(x)-arcsin(x)=arcsin(1-x)

Solution

arccos (x) - arcsin (x) = arcsin (1 - x)

Solution

x = 0, x = \frac{1}{2}

Solution steps

arccos (x) - arcsin (x) = arcsin (1 - x)

a = b \Rightarrow sin (a) = sin (b)

sin (arccos (x) - arcsin (x)) = sin (arcsin (1 - x))

Use the following identity:

sin (s - t) = sin (s) cos (t) - cos (s) sin (t)

sin (arccos (x)) cos (arcsin (x)) - cos (arccos (x)) sin (arcsin (x)) = sin (arcsin (1 - x))

Use the following identity:

sin (arccos (x)) = 1 - x^{2}

Use the following identity:

cos (arcsin (x)) = 1 - x^{2}

Use the following identity:

cos (arccos (x)) = x

Use the following identity:

sin (arcsin (x)) = x

1 - x^{2} 1 - x^{2} - xx = 1 - x

Solve

1 - x^{2} 1 - x^{2} - xx = 1 - x : x = 0, x = \frac{1}{2}

1 - x^{2} 1 - x^{2} - xx = 1 - x

Expand

1 - x^{2} 1 - x^{2} - xx : 1 - 2 x^{2}

1 - x^{2} 1 - x^{2} - xx

1 - x^{2} 1 - x^{2} = 1 - x^{2}

1 - x^{2} 1 - x^{2}

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

1 - x^{2} 1 - x^{2} = 1 - x^{2}

= 1 - x^{2}

xx = x^{2}

xx

Apply exponent rule:

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

xx = x^{1 + 1}

= x^{1 + 1}

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= x^{2}

= 1 - x^{2} - x^{2}

Refine

= 1 - 2 x^{2}

1 - 2 x^{2} = 1 - x

Solve

1 - 2 x^{2} = 1 - x : x = 0, x = \frac{1}{2}

1 - 2 x^{2} = 1 - x

Move

x

to the left side

1 - 2 x^{2} = 1 - x

Add

x

to both sides

1 - 2 x^{2} + x = 1 - x + x

Simplify

1 - 2 x^{2} + x = 1

1 - 2 x^{2} + x = 1

Move

1

to the left side

1 - 2 x^{2} + x = 1

Subtract

1

from both sides

1 - 2 x^{2} + x - 1 = 1 - 1

Simplify

- 2 x^{2} + x = 0

- 2 x^{2} + x = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- 2 x^{2} + x = 0
