sin(x+pi/6)+cos(x+pi/6)=1

Solution

sin (x + \frac{π}{6}) + cos (x + \frac{π}{6}) = 1

Solution

x = 2 πn - \frac{π}{6}, x = 2 πn + \frac{π}{3}

Degrees

x = - 3 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 6 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sin (x + \frac{π}{6}) + cos (x + \frac{π}{6}) = 1

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (\frac{π}{6} + x) + cos (\frac{π}{6} + x)

sin (\frac{π}{6} + x) + cos (\frac{π}{6} + x) = 2 sin (\frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4})

sin (\frac{π}{6} + x) + cos (\frac{π}{6} + x)

Rewrite as

= 2 (\frac{1}{2} sin (\frac{π}{6} + x) + \frac{1}{2} cos (\frac{π}{6} + x))

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 (\frac{π}{6} + x) + sin (\frac{π}{4}) cos (\frac{π}{6} + x))

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= 2 sin (\frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4})

= 2 sin (\frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4})

2 sin (\frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4}) = 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 sin (\frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4}) = 1

Divide both sides by

\frac{2 sin ( \frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4} )}{2} = \frac{1}{2}

Simplify

\frac{2 sin ( \frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4} )}{2} = \frac{1}{2}

Simplify

\frac{2 sin ( \frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4} )}{2} : sin (\frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4})

\frac{2 sin ( \frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4} )}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

= sin (\frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4})

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} : \frac{2}{2}

\frac{1}{2}

Multiply by the conjugate

\frac{2}{2}

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2 2}

1 \cdot 2 = 2

22 = 2

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

22 = 2

= 2

= \frac{2}{2}

sin (\frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4}) = \frac{2}{2}

sin (\frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4}) = \frac{2}{2}

sin (\frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4}) = \frac{2}{2}

\frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4} = \frac{π}{4} + 2 πn, \frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4} = \frac{3 π}{4} + 2 πn

\frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4} = \frac{π}{4} + 2 πn, \frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4} = \frac{3 π}{4} + 2 πn

Solve

\frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4} = \frac{π}{4} + 2 πn : x = 2 πn - \frac{π}{6}

\frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4} = \frac{π}{4} + 2 πn

Subtract

\frac{π}{4}

from both sides

\frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4} - \frac{π}{4} = \frac{π}{4} + 2 πn - \frac{π}{4}

Simplify

\frac{π}{6} + x = 2 πn

Move

\frac{π}{6}

to the right side

\frac{π}{6} + x = 2 πn

\frac{π}{6}

from both sides

\frac{π}{6} + x - \frac{π}{6} = 2 πn - \frac{π}{6}

Simplify

x = 2 πn - \frac{π}{6}

x = 2 πn - \frac{π}{6}

Solve

\frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4} = \frac{3 π}{4} + 2 πn : x = 2 πn + \frac{π}{3}

\frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4} = \frac{3 π}{4} + 2 πn

Move

\frac{π}{6}

to the right side

\frac{π}{6} + x + \frac{π}{4} = \frac{3 π}{4} + 2 πn
