What is the value of sum of sqrt2/2+sinx=?

To determine the value of the sum, we'll create matching
functions in the given sum.


Since sin pi/4 = (sqrt2)/2,
we'll substitute the value (sqrt2)/2 by the equivalent function of the angle
pi/4.


We'll transform the sum  into a
product.


sin x + sin pi/4 = sin x +
(sqrt2)/2


sin x + sin pi/4  =  2sin [(x+pi/4)/2]*cos[
(x-pi/4)/2]


sin x + sin pi/4  = 2 sin [(x/2 + pi/8)]*cos[
(x/2 - pi/8)]


We'll use the half angle
identity:


sin [(x+pi/4)/2] = sqrt[2-(sqrt2)*(cos x-sin
x)]/2


cos[ (x-pi/4)/2] = sqrt[2+(sqrt2)*(cos x+sin
x)]/2


sin x + sin pi/4  =
sqrt{[2-(sqrt2)*(cos x-sin x)]*[2+(sqrt2)*(cos x+sin
x)]}/2

What accomplishments did Bill Clinton have as president?

Of course, Bill Clinton's presidency will be most clearly remembered for the fact that he was only the second president ever...
