    You can also use arcsin(t) + arccos(t) = pi/2 for all t, and take arcsin of both sides to get arcsin(sin(cos(x))) = cos(x) = arcsin(cos(sin(x))) = pi/2 - arccos(cos(sin(x))) = pi/2 - sin(x). Hence cos(x) + sin(x) = pi/2 and use your technique from there.

      @@leif1075 in general if you have a•sinx+b•cosx you can always rewrite it as A•sin(x+α) , multiplying and dividing by sqrt(a^2+b^2).
      In this case one finds out that A=sqrt(a^2+b^2) , cosα = a/A, sinα=b/A. With this trick, if a=b, you have A=sqrt(2) and α=π/4 (easy peasy)

    Taking into account that in order to have sin a= cos b the angles must add to pi/2 we can write
    cos x = t
    sin x = pi/2 - t
    So squaring both sides of each equation and adding them
    1 = t^2+pi^2/4-pi t+ t^2
    Which leads to a 2n degree eq that has no real solutions.
    t^2-pi/2 t +pi^2/8-1/2=0

    For the method used at 1:29, I feel like you should have generalised what we call the R-alpha method (where you rewrite an expression of sinx + cosx as Rsin(x + alpha) since i feel that’s clearer, good video otherwise!

  • @TheEternalVortex42

    You can also use the sum/product formula to rewrite this as
    sin(-sin(x)/2 - cos(x)/2 + π/4) sin(sin(x)/2 - cos(x)/2 + π/4) = 0
    Which gives the two branches:
    1. sin(x) + cos(x) - π/2 = 0
    2. sin(x) - cos(x) + π/2 = 0
    And then you can use the same min/max argument to see these can never be satisfied.

    It is a quite incomplete solution, for example at:

      Notice that both equations produce a oscillating waves. The wave won't intersect because both waves use x as the component that creates fist a sine and then a cosine wave and visa versa. So if you add to x you merely move the y axis in the graph. If you just multiple x than you move the values on the x axis. To get an intersection you need to make one or the other graph to either change in frequency, shift in phase or change in amplitude. We see this kind of thing on dual input oscilloscopes. Your looking at two waveforms one at twice the frequency of the other at different amplitudes with the top having a DC offset. To answer your question on the oscilloscope a slight change in the DC offset would get the lines to touch. However mathematically you need to find the point x where the two functions sin (cos x) and cos (sin x) are the closest. So you might want to use the double angle trig identity, maybe square both sides, maybe the inverse trig functions or insert a/c and b/c with a^2 + b^2 = c^2 for cos x and sin x and after getting a solution changing back to the trig functions. Maybe play with complex variables and use e and ln instead of trig functions. If you want just a numerical solution maybe write a program the inputs x and x plus looks at the differences picks a new number in between and tries that.

    Let sin x = a, cos x = b
    Since sin a = cos b, then a+b=π/2
    From this, we get
    sin x + cos x = π/2
    If we square this we get
    1+2 sin x cos x = π²/4
    Since 2 sin x cos x = sin 2x, we get
    sin 2x = (π²-4)/4
    Since both π²-4 and 4 are bigger than 0, this exists iff π²-4≤4, however, π²-4>3²-4=9-4=5>4
    Thus, there is no real answer
    I checked for a complex one and there are 2 per log branch, pretty cool imo

    It's clear that the second approach - comparison of the graphs of the two functions - that there is no solution to the equation. It's easy to dream up what looks like an equality relation as shown here, but using the geometric approach it is clear that no such equality necessarily, exists - unless of course we want to invent a new branch of mathematics. This leaves us with the realization that to treat trigonometry as pure algebra without reference to geometry can very easily lead us astray.

      @@sk8erJG95 Your conjecture goes way beyond my mathematical knowledge to comment intelligently. That said, it seems similar to what I had in mind when I suggested in my comment that some new math could be invoked to give sense to the equation. A simple analogy might be that a polynomial with no real roots would also demonstrate a supposed " no solution " since in such a case there is no obvious Euclidean geometry involving intersection of curve and line. Perhaps my comment would have been more to the point had I said that treating trigonometry like algebra, without being hampered by Euclidean geometry leads us into unfamiliar territory. Thanks for lifting the comments to a new higher level.

      As a further matter of interest we can create parametric relations which are analogous to cosine and sine :
      c(u) = ( u^2 -1 )/( u^2 +1 ). and s(u)= ( 2*u )/( u^2 +1 ) where u is a rational number, and it is easy to show that
      c (u)^2 + s(u)^2 =1 for all values of u. If we look at c(s(u)) = s(c(u)) we obtain solutions for u { 0,1,-1,i*sqrt3),-i*sqrt(3) } and this can be confirmed with a plot of the two functions, since the curves intersect at the values of u indicated.

      You can't solve in standard ways. One solution is x=0. Graph them together on desmos and you'll see the intersection points. (There are infinitely many because cosine is periodic and will keep oscillating while e^x approaches 0 as x approaches negative infinity.) No positive solutions.

    Method 2 (please check my work?):
    Identities:
    sin x = cos ( x - π/2)
    sin x = cos (-x + π/2)
    Substitute:
    cos ( cos x - π/2) = cos (sin x)
    cos (-cos x + π/2) = cos (sin x)
    Equals are equal:
    cos (cos x - π/2) = cos (-cos x + π/2)
    Arccos:
    cos x - π/2 = -cos x + π/2 + 2kπ
    Rearrange, divide by 2:
    cos x = kπ + π/2
    Then:
    -1 < cos x < 1 is not true for any k ∈ ℤ
    Does anybody know whether arccos (π/2 + kπ) provides any of the complex solutions?

    Another way is to finish up the algebra to solve explicitly for x:
    Just transform the sin as you did to a cos, then set
    cos(x) = y
    Which means
    sin(x) = sqrt(1-y^2)
    So you get
    pi/2-y = sqrt(1-y^2)
    Whose solution is
    y = pi/4+-sqrt(1/2-pi^2/16)
    So
    x = arccos(pi/4+-sqrt(1/2-pi^2/16))
    Since 1/2

    For this Trig. Equation to be true Sin(x) and Cos(x) must be equal to π/4, Because;
    Sin(Cos(x)) = Cos(Sin(x))
    Sin(π/4) = Cos(π/4) = 1/Sqrt(2).
    But to find x we must take the inverse function of Sin and/or Cos of π/4, But Csc(π/4) and Sec(π/4) isnt lie in the interval of Negative Infinity to Positive Infinity.
    Thus, Sin(Cos(x)) = Cos(Sin(x)) has no solutions for real value of x
