prove sinx+cosx=1
------------
sin(x) + cos(x) = 1
x = pi/6 or 30 degs
0.5 + 0.866 = 1.366 <> 1
It doesn't.

sinx+cosx = 1
--------
sin(x) = sqrt(1-cos^2(x))
-----
Substitute and solve for cos(x):
sqrt(1-cos^2)x + cos(x) = 1
-----
sqrt(1-cos^2(x)) = 1 - cos(x)
-----
Square both sides to get:
1-cos^2(x) = 1 - 2cos(x) + cos^2(x)
------
2cos^2(x) - 2cos = 0
cos^2 - cos = 0
cos(cos-1) = 0
cos(x) = 0 or cos(x) = 1
--------
x = pi/2 or (3/2)pi or 0
