Solve in the interval 0∘≤θ≤360∘ the equation sinθ+cosθ=1.
I've got the two angles in the interval to be 0∘ and 90∘, it's not an answer I'm after, I'd just like to see different approaches one could take with a problem like this. Thank you!
Sorry, my approach:
1√2sinθ+1√2cosθ=1√2cos45∘sinθ+sin45∘cosθ=1√2sin(θ+45∘)=1√2θ+45∘=45∘, 135∘θ=0∘, 90∘
Answer
A slightly 'expanded-upon' version of user67418's answer:
The circle here represents the parametric curve (x=cosθ,y=sinθ), and the line is the line x+y=1, so their points of intersection are the points where cosθ+sinθ=1; at least for me, this is the clearest way of seeing that there are only the two solutions already mentioned.
