Start with the given equation: \(\sin x + \cos x = 1\).
Square both sides of the equation to use the Pythagorean identity: \((\sin x + \cos x)^2 = 1^2\).
Expand the left side using the formula \((a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2\): \(\sin^2 x + 2 \sin x \cos x + \cos^2 x = 1\).
Use the Pythagorean identity \(\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1\) to simplify the equation: \(1 + 2 \sin x \cos x = 1\).
Subtract 1 from both sides to isolate the product term: \(2 \sin x \cos x = 0\), then solve for \(x\) by setting \(\sin x \cos x = 0\) and finding all solutions in \([0, 2\pi)\).

Interval and Periodicity of Trigonometric Functions

The interval [0, 2π) represents one full cycle of sine and cosine functions. Understanding the periodicity ensures that all solutions within this range are found, and no extraneous solutions outside the interval are considered. This is crucial for correctly interpreting the solution set.
