Find all solutions for the equations. Give exact solutions when possible. Use your calculator if necessary rounding to 3 decimal places.
cos(2x) = sin(2x)
Solution
cos(2x) = sin(2x)
squaring both sides
cos2(2x) = sin2(2x)
cos2(2x) = 1- cos2(2x) ( cos2x + sin2x = 1)
1 = 2*cos2(2x)
cos2(2x) = 1 / 2
cos(2x) = 1/21/2
cos(2x) = cos( pi/4)
[ when cos x = cos y . then x = 2*n*pi +_ y , where n = 0,1.2-------------------)
2x = 2*n*pi +_ pi/4
x = n*pi +_ pi / 8 n = 0,1,2,3------------------------
