`(sin(2x) + cos(2x))^2 = 1` Find the exact solutions of the equation in the interval [0, 2pi).

You need to evaluate the solution to the equation `(cos 2x + sin 2x)^2 = 1` , such that:


`cos^2 2x + 2cos 2x*sin 2x + sin^2 2x = 1`


You need to use the formula `cos^2 2x + sin^2 2x = 1` , such that:


`1 + 2cos 2x*sin 2x = 1`


Reducing like terms yields:


`2cos 2x*sin 2x = 0`


You need to use the double angle formula such that:


`2cos 2x*sin 2x...

You need to evaluate the solution to the equation `(cos 2x + sin 2x)^2 = 1` , such that:


`cos^2 2x + 2cos 2x*sin 2x + sin^2 2x = 1`


You need to use the formula `cos^2 2x + sin^2 2x = 1` , such that:


`1 + 2cos 2x*sin 2x = 1`


Reducing like terms yields:


`2cos 2x*sin 2x = 0`


You need to use the double angle formula such that:


`2cos 2x*sin 2x = sin 4x`


`sin 4x = 0 => 4x = 0 => x = 0`


`sin 4x = 0 => 4x = pi => x = pi/4`


Hence, the solution to the equation, in `[0,2pi)` , are `x = 0, x = pi/4.`
