sin(θ)+cos(θ)=(sqrt(3))/2

Solution

sin (θ) + cos (θ) = \frac{3}{2}

Solution

θ = 0.65905 \dots + 2 πn - \frac{π}{4}, θ = π - 0.65905 \dots + 2 πn - \frac{π}{4}

Degrees

θ = - 7.23875 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 97.23875 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sin (θ) + cos (θ) = \frac{3}{2}

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (θ) + cos (θ)

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

sin (θ) + cos (θ)

Rewrite as

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

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{π}{4}) = \frac{1}{2}

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{π}{4}) = \frac{1}{2}

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

Use the Angle Sum identity:

sin (s + t) = sin (s) cos (t) + cos (s) sin (t)

= 2 sin (θ + \frac{π}{4})

= 2 sin (θ + \frac{π}{4})

2 sin (θ + \frac{π}{4}) = \frac{3}{2}

Divide both sides by

2

2 sin (θ + \frac{π}{4}) = \frac{3}{2}

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 sin ( θ + \frac{π}{4} )}{2} = \frac{\frac{3}{2}}{2}

Simplify

\frac{2 sin ( θ + \frac{π}{4} )}{2} = \frac{\frac{3}{2}}{2}

Simplify

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