The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \sin^{50} x - \cos^{50} x = 1 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We start with the given equation: \[ \sin^{50} x - \cos^{50} x = 1 \] Rearranging gives us: \[ \sin^{50} x = 1 + \cos^{50} x \] ### Step 2: Analyze the ranges of sine and cosine We know that the range of \( \sin x \) and \( \cos x \) is between -1 and 1. Therefore, \( \sin^{50} x \) will also be in the range [0, 1] since raising to an even power (like 50) will yield non-negative results. ### Step 3: Set up conditions Since \( \sin^{50} x \) must equal \( 1 + \cos^{50} x \), we can see that: - The maximum value of \( \sin^{50} x \) is 1 (when \( \sin x = 1 \)). - The minimum value of \( \cos^{50} x \) is 0 (when \( \cos x = 0 \)). This implies that: \[ 1 + \cos^{50} x \geq 1 \] Thus, \( \sin^{50} x \) can only equal 1 when \( \cos^{50} x = 0 \). ### Step 4: Solve for \( \cos x = 0 \) The equation \( \cos^{50} x = 0 \) leads us to: \[ \cos x = 0 \] The cosine function equals zero at: \[ x = \frac{\pi}{2} + n\pi \quad (n \in \mathbb{Z}) \] This means the solutions are at odd multiples of \( \frac{\pi}{2} \). ### Step 5: Final solution Thus, the complete solution for the equation \( \sin^{50} x - \cos^{50} x = 1 \) is: \[ x = \frac{\pi}{2} + n\pi \quad (n \in \mathbb{Z}) \]
