solvefor x,cos(x)-sin(x)=0

solve for

x, cos (x) - sin (x) = 0

x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

Degrees

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

Solution steps

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}

Simplify

tan (x) = 1

tan (x) = 1

General solutions for

tan (x) = 1

x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

tan (θ) = 2 sin (θ)

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

sin (3 θ) = \frac{1}{2}

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

1 - sin (θ) = 2 cos^{2} (θ)
