Question

Solve the following equations:
sin θ + cos θ = `sqrt(2)`

Sum
Advertisements

Solution

Divide each term by `sqrt(2)`

`1/sqrt(2) sin theta + 1/sqrt(2) cos theta = sqrt(2)/sqrt(2)`

`sin pi/4 sin theta + cos pi/4 cos theta` = 1

`cos theta * cos  pi/4 + sin theta * sin  pi/4` = 1

`cos (theta - pi/4)` = 1

`cos (theta - pi/4)` = cos θ

The general solution is

`theta - pi/4` = 2nπ, n ∈ Z

θ = `2"n"pi + pi/4`, n ∈ Z

θ = `(8"n"pi + pi)/4`, n ∈ Z

θ = `(8"n" + 1)  pi/4`, n ∈ Z
