If 0 < x , y < π and cos x + cos y - cos x + y = 3 2 , then sin x + cos y is equal to:

If 0<x,y<π and cosx+cosy-cosx+y=32, then sinx+cosy is equal to:
  1. 12
  2. 32
  3. 1-32
  4. 1+32

Solution

cosx+cosy-cosx+y=32

2cosx+y2·cosx-y2-2cos2x+y2-1=32

2cosx+y2·cosx-y2-2cos2x+y2+1=32

2cosx+y2·cosx-y2-2cos2x+y2=12

4cosx+y2·cosx-y2-4cos2x+y2=1

4cosx+y2·cosx-y2-4cos2x+y2=1=sin2x-y2+cos2x-y2

4cos2x+y2+cos2x-y2-4cosx+y2·cosx-y2+sin2x-y2=0

2cosx+y2-cosx-y22+sin2x-y2=0

sinx-y2=0 and cosx+y2=12cosx-y2

x=y and cosx=12=cosy

 sinx=32

sinx+cosy=1+32
