find an acute angle alpha such that sin alpha plus cos alpha equals 2
----
sin(x)+ cos(x) = 2
--------------------
The only way sin(x) + cos(x) can = 2 is if
sin(x) = 1 and cos(x) = 1
----
x = pi/2 and x = 0
=====================
But x cannot be both pi/2 and 0.
So, no solution.
=====================
