Math Problem Statement

sin 𝜋/4 + cos 𝜋/4

Solution

To solve sin(π4)+cos(π4)\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) + \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right):

  1. sin(π4)=22\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}
  2. cos(π4)=22\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

Now, adding these two values:

sin(π4)+cos(π4)=22+22=222=2\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) + \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{2} = \sqrt{2}

So, the result is 2\sqrt{2}.
