Question Number 81003 by mathocean1 last updated on 08/Feb/20

(E): sin2x=cosx+sinx−(1/2)  1. show that (E) is equivalent to   (E′): 2cos^2 X−(√2)cosX−(1/2)=0  with X=x−(π/4).

$$\left(\mathrm{E}\right):\:\mathrm{sin2}{x}={cosx}+{sinx}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}.\:{show}\:{that}\:\left(\mathrm{E}\right)\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{equivalent}\:\mathrm{to}\: \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{E}'\right):\:\mathrm{2cos}^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{X}−\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{cosX}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{with}\:\mathrm{X}={x}−\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{4}}. \\ $$

sin x+cos x−(1/2) = (√(2 )) cos (x−(π/4))−(1/2)  = (√2) cos X−(1/2)  now sin 2x = 1+2sin xcos x −1  (sin x+cos x)^2 −1 = ((√(2 )) cos X)^2 −1  so E ⇒ 2cos^2 X−1 = (√2) cos X−(1/2)  2cos^2 X−(√2) cos X−(1/2)=0

$$\mathrm{sin}\:{x}+\mathrm{cos}\:{x}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\:=\:\sqrt{\mathrm{2}\:}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\left({x}−\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{4}}\right)−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$=\:\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{cos}\:{X}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${now}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{2}{x}\:=\:\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2sin}\:{x}\mathrm{cos}\:{x}\:−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{sin}\:{x}+\mathrm{cos}\:{x}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1}\:=\:\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{2}\:}\:\mathrm{cos}\:{X}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${so}\:{E}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{2cos}\:^{\mathrm{2}} {X}−\mathrm{1}\:=\:\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{cos}\:{X}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2cos}\:^{\mathrm{2}} {X}−\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{cos}\:{X}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$
