$$\:\theta=\mathrm{cos}^{−\mathrm{1}} \left[\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\pi/\mathrm{4}\right)\mathrm{cos}\:{x}+\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\pi/\mathrm{4}\right)\mathrm{sin}\:{x}\right] \\ $$$$\:\:=\mathrm{cos}^{−\mathrm{1}} \left[\mathrm{cos}\:\left({x}−\pi/\mathrm{4}\right)\right] \\ $$$${And}\:{as}\:\:\:\:\:\pi/\mathrm{4}\:<\:{x}\:<\:\mathrm{5}\pi/\mathrm{4} \\ $$$${so}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{0}\:<\:{x}−\pi/\mathrm{4}\:<\:\pi \\ $$$${Hence}\:\:\boldsymbol{\theta}=\:\boldsymbol{{x}}−\boldsymbol{\pi}/\mathrm{4}\:. \\ $$
