Answer:

(√2/2)(sin(x) +cos(x))

Explanation:

You want sin(x+π/4) written in terms of sine and cosine.

Angle sum identity

The sine of the sum of two angles is found using the identity ...

sin(α +β) = sin(α)cos(β) +cos(α)sin(β)

Application

Choosing α=x and β=π/4, this becomes ...

sin(x +π/4) = sin(x)cos(π/4) +cos(x)sin(π/4)

The trig function values are ...

sin(π/4) = cos(π/4) = √2/2, so the expression can be written ...

sin(x +π/4) = sin(x)√2/2 +cos(x)√2/2

sin(x +π/4) = (√2/2)(sin(x) +cos(x))
