cos^2(x)=(1+sin(x))(1-cos(x))

Solution

cos^{2} (x) = (1 + sin (x)) (1 - cos (x))

Solution

x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn, x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

Degrees

x = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 4 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos^{2} (x) = (1 + sin (x)) (1 - cos (x))

Subtract

(1 + sin (x)) (1 - cos (x))

from both sides

cos^{2} (x) - (1 + sin (x)) (1 - cos (x)) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

cos^{2} (x) - (1 + sin (x)) (1 - cos (x))

Use the Pythagorean identity:

cos^{2} (x) + sin^{2} (x) = 1

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

= 1 - sin^{2} (x) - (1 + sin (x)) (1 - cos (x))

Simplify

1 - sin^{2} (x) - (1 + sin (x)) (1 - cos (x)) : cos (x) + sin (x) cos (x) - sin^{2} (x) - sin (x)

1 - sin^{2} (x) - (1 + sin (x)) (1 - cos (x))

Expand

- (1 + sin (x)) (1 - cos (x)) : - 1 + cos (x) - sin (x) + sin (x) cos (x)

Expand

(1 + sin (x)) (1 - cos (x)) : 1 - cos (x) + sin (x) - sin (x) cos (x)

(1 + sin (x)) (1 - cos (x))

Apply FOIL method:

(a + b) (c + d) = a c + a d + b c + b d

a = 1, b = sin (x), c = 1, d = - cos (x)

= 1 \cdot 1 + 1 \cdot (- cos (x)) + sin (x) \cdot 1 + sin (x) (- cos (x))

Apply minus-plus rules

+ (- a) = - a

= 1 \cdot 1 - 1 \cdot cos (x) + 1 \cdot sin (x) - sin (x) cos (x)

Simplify

1 \cdot 1 - 1 \cdot cos (x) + 1 \cdot sin (x) - sin (x) cos (x) : 1 - cos (x) + sin (x) - sin (x) cos (x)

1 \cdot 1 - 1 \cdot cos (x) + 1 \cdot sin (x) - sin (x) cos (x)

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 1 = 1

= 1 - 1 \cdot cos (x) + 1 \cdot sin (x) - sin (x) cos (x)

Multiply:

1 \cdot cos (x) = cos (x)

= 1 - cos (x) + 1 \cdot sin (x) - sin (x) cos (x)

Multiply:

1 \cdot sin (x) = sin (x)

= 1 - cos (x) + sin (x) - sin (x) cos (x)

= 1 - cos (x) + sin (x) - sin (x) cos (x)

= - (1 - cos (x) + sin (x) - sin (x) cos (x))

Distribute parentheses

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

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a, - (a) = - a

= - 1 + cos (x) - sin (x) + sin (x) cos (x)

= 1 - sin^{2} (x) - 1 + cos (x) - sin (x) + sin (x) cos (x)

Simplify

1 - sin^{2} (x) - 1 + cos (x) - sin (x) + sin (x) cos (x) : cos (x) + sin (x) cos (x) - sin^{2} (x) - sin (x)

1 - sin^{2} (x) - 1 + cos (x) - sin (x) + sin (x) cos (x)

Group like terms

= - sin^{2} (x) + cos (x) - sin (x) + sin (x) cos (x) + 1 - 1

1 - 1 = 0

= cos (x) + sin (x) cos (x) - sin^{2} (x) - sin (x)

= cos (x) + sin (x) cos (x) - sin^{2} (x) - sin (x)

= cos (x) + sin (x) cos (x) - sin^{2} (x) - sin (x)

cos (x) - sin (x) - sin^{2} (x) + cos (x) sin (x) = 0

Factor

cos (x) - sin (x) - sin^{2} (x) + cos (x) sin (x) : (1 + sin (x)) (cos (x) - sin (x))

cos (x) - sin (x) - sin^{2} (x) + cos (x) sin (x)

Factor out common term

cos (x)

= cos (x) (1 + sin (x)) - sin (x) - sin^{2} (x)

Apply exponent rule:

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

sin^{2} (x) = sin (x) sin (x)

= cos (x) (1 + sin (x)) - sin (x) - sin (x) sin (x)

Factor out common term

sin (x)

= cos (x) (1 + sin (x)) - sin (x) (1 + sin (x))

Factor out common term

(1 + sin (x))

= (1 + sin (x)) (cos (x) - sin (x))

(1 + sin (x)) (cos (x) - sin (x)) = 0

Solving each part separately

1 + sin (x) = 0 or cos (x) - sin (x) = 0

1 + sin (x) = 0 : x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

1 + sin (x) = 0

Move

1

to the right side

1 + sin (x) = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

1 + sin (x) - 1 = 0 - 1

Simplify

sin (x) = - 1

sin (x) = - 1

x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

cos (x) - sin (x) = 0 : x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

cos (x) - sin (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

cos (x) - sin (x) = 0

Divide both sides by

cos (x), cos (x) \neq = 0

\frac{cos ( x ) - sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = \frac{0}{cos ( x )}

Simplify

1 - \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = 0

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = tan (x)

1 - tan (x) = 0

1 - tan (x) = 0

Move

1

to the right side

1 - tan (x) = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

1 - tan (x) - 1 = 0 - 1

Simplify

- tan (x) = - 1

- tan (x) = - 1

Divide both sides by

- 1

- tan (x) = - 1

Divide both sides by

- 1

\frac{- tan ( x )}{- 1} = \frac{- 1}{- 1}
