See the explaination

Explanation:

sqrt2cosx = sin2x

You can use the identity

sin2x = 2sinxcosx

You get,

sqrt2cosx = 2sinxcosx

sqrt(2)cosx - 2sinxcosx = 0

cosx ( sqrt(2) - 2sinx ) = 0

sqrt2 - 2sinx = 0 => sqrt(2) = 2sinx

and

cosx = 0

sqrt2/2 = sinx

1/sqrt2 = sinx

We know , sin45° = 1/sqrt2

So, x = 45°

And we know cos90^circ = 0

So x = 90^circ also

=> x = {45^circ , 90^circ }
