Find all solutions in the interval [0, 2π). cos x = sin x
Solution:
All possible values which satisfy the given trigonometric equation are called solutions of the given trigonometric equation.
The trigonometric equations involve trigonometric functions of angles as variables.
Divide by cos x on both sides
We get 1= sin x/ cos x
1 = tan x
x = tan-1(1)
In the given interval [0, 2π), we have solutions as π/4, 3π/4 and 7π/4
Find all solutions in the interval [0, 2π). cos x = sin x
Summary:
All solutions in the interval [0, 2π) when cos x = sin x are π/4, 3π/4 and 7π/4.
