`cos(x + pi/4) - cos(x - pi/4) = 1` Find all solutions of the equation in the interval [0, 2pi).

`cos(x+pi/4)-cos(x-pi/4)=1 , 0<=x<=2pi`

We will use the following identity,

`cos(A+B)=cosAcosB-sinAsinB`

`cos(x+pi/4)-cos(x-pi/4)=1`

`rArr (cos(pi/4)cos(x)-sin(pi/4)sin(x))-(cos(pi/4)cos(x)+sin(pi/4)sin(x))=1`

`rArr(cos(x)-sin(x))/sqrt(2)-(cos(x)+sin(x))/sqrt(2)=1`

`rArr(cos(x)-sin(x)-cos(x)-sin(x))/sqrt(2)=1`

`rArr(-2sin(x))/sqrt(2)=1`
