sin^{2} (\frac{x}{2}) + cos (x) > 0

Let:

u = \frac{x}{2}

sin^{2} (u) + cos (2 u) > 0

sin^{2} (u) + cos (2 u) > 0 : - \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn < u < \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn or \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn < u < \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

sin^{2} (u) + cos (2 u) > 0

Use the following identity:

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

cos^{2} (u) - sin^{2} (u) + sin^{2} (u) > 0

Simplify

cos^{2} (u) > 0

= 2 π - \frac{π}{2}

Simplify

2 π - \frac{π}{2}

Convert element to fraction:

2 π = \frac{2 π 2}{2}

= \frac{2 π 2}{2} - \frac{π}{2}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{2 π 2 - π}{2}

2 π 2 - π = 3 π
