To solve this equation, we will use trigonometric identities to simplify it. Let's start by simplifying the right side using the angle difference identity:
sin(5π/2 - x) = sin(5π/2)cos(x) - cos(5π/2)sin(x)sin(5π/2) = 1 and cos(5π/2) = 0sin(5π/2 - x) = 1cos(x) - 0sin(x) = cos(x)
Now, the equation becomes:
cos(2x) - 1 = √2sin(5π/2 - x)cos(2x) - 1 = √2cos(x)
Now, we can use the double angle identity for cosine to further simplify this equation:
2cos^2(x) - 1 - 1 = √2cos(x)2cos^2(x) - 2 = √2cos(x)
Now, we have a quadratic equation in terms of cos(x):
2cos^2(x) - √2*cos(x) - 2 = 0
Solving this quadratic equation will give us the values of cos(x), and then we can find the corresponding values of x.
