sin x - cos x = 0
sin x = cos x
(sin x)^2 = (cos x)^2
(sin x)^2 = 1 - (sin x)^2
2(sin x)^2 = 1
(sin x)^2 = 1/2
sin x = ± √(1/2)
sin x = ± (1/√2)
sin x = ± (1/√2)(√2/√2)
sin x = ± √2/2
x = ± pi/4 (± 45 degrees)
Any multiple of 2pi can be added to these values and sine (also cosine) is still ± √2/2. Thus all solutions of sin x - cos x = 0 or sin x = cos x are given by
x = ± pi/4 ± 2npi, where n is any integer.
By choosing any two integers , such as n = 0, n = 1, n = 2 we can find some solutions of sin x - cos x = 0.
n = 0, x = ± pi/4 ± (2)(n)(pi) = ± pi/4 ± (2)(0)(pi) = ± pi/4 ± 0 = ± pi/4
n = 1, x = ± pi/4 ± (2)(n)(pi) = ± pi/4 ± (2)(1)(pi) = ± pi/4 ± 2pi = ± 9pi/4
n = 2, x = ± pi/4 ± (2)(n)(pi) = ± pi/4 ± (2)(2)(pi) = ± pi/4 ± 4pi = ± 17pi/4

A useful property in Trigonometry is: tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x) So, cos(x) tan(x) = cos(x) [ sin(x) / cos (x)] = sin(x)
lim(h→0) (sin x cos h + cos x sin h - sin x)/h As h tends to 0, both the numerator and the denominator have limit zero. Thus, the quotient is indeterminate at 0 and of the form 0/0. Therefore, we apply l'Hopital's Rule and the limit equals: lim(h→0) (sin x cos h + cos x sin h - sin x)/h = lim(h→0) (sin x cos h + cos x sin h - sin x)'/h' = lim(h→0) [[(cos x)(cos h) + (sin x)(-sin h)] + [(-sin x)(sin h) + (cos x)(cos h)] - cos x]]/0 = cosx/0 = ∞
f'[x] = lim(h->0) (f[x+h]-f[x])/h lim(h->0) (sin[x+h]-sin[x])/h By angle-addition formula, we have: lim(h->0) (sin[x]cos[h]+sin[h]cos[x]-sin[x])/h lim(h->0) (sin[x]cos[h]-sin[x])/h + lim(h->0) (sin[h]cos[x])/h sin[x]*lim(h->0) (cos[h]-1)/h + cos[x]*lim(h->0) sin[h]/h In a calculus class, it is shown that: lim(h->0) (cos[h]-1)/h = 0 and that lim(h->0) sin[h]/h is 1. So, sin[x]*lim(h->0) (cos[h]-1)/h + cos[x]*lim(h->0) sin[h]/h becomes sin[x]*0 + cos[x]*1 cos[x] So, if f[x] = sin[x], f'[x] = cos[x]

It helps to convert this kind of equation into one that has only sines and cosines, by using the basic definitions of the other functions in terms of sines and cosines. sin x / (1 - cos x) = csc x + cot x sin x / (1 - cos x) = 1 / sin x + cos x / sin x Now it should be easy to do some simplifications: sin x / (1 - cos x) = (1 + cos x) / sin x Multiply both sides by 1 + cos x: sin x (1 + cos) / ((1 - cos x)(1 + cos x)) = (1 + cos x)2 / sin x sin x (1 + cos) / (1 - cos2x) = (1 + cos x)2 / sin x sin x (1 + cos) / sin2x = (1 + cos x)2 / sin x sin x (1 + cos x) / sin x = (1 + cos x)2 1 + cos x = (1 + cos x)2 1 = 1 + cos x cos x = 0 So, cos x can be pi/2, 3 pi / 2, etc. In some of the simplifications, I divided by a factor that might be equal to zero; this has to be considered separately. For example, what if sin x = 0? Check whether this is a solution to the original equation.
