cos to the power of negative 1 end exponent x plus sin to the power of negative 1 end exponent fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 5 end fraction equals straight pi over 4

Solution
cos to the power of negative 1 end exponent straight x plus sin to the power of negative 1 end exponent fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 5 end fraction equals straight pi over 4
rightwards double arrow space space cos to the power of negative 1 end exponent straight x equals straight pi over 4 minus sin to the power of negative 1 end exponent fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 5 end fraction space space space space space space space space space rightwards double arrow space cos to the power of negative 1 end exponent straight x equals cos to the power of negative 1 end exponent space fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 2 end fraction minus cos to the power of negative 1 end exponent space square root of 1 minus 1 fifth end root
rightwards double arrow space space cos to the power of negative 1 end exponent space straight x equals cos to the power of negative 1 end exponent space fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 2 end fraction minus cos to the power of negative 1 end exponent space fraction numerator 2 over denominator square root of 5 end fraction
rightwards double arrow space space cos to the power of negative 1 end exponent straight x equals cos to the power of negative 1 end exponent space open square brackets fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 2 end fraction cross times fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 5 end fraction plus square root of open parentheses 1 minus 1 half close parentheses open parentheses 1 minus 4 over 5 close parentheses end root close square brackets
