    Sin2x+cos2x=1

    2sinxcosx+2cos^2x-1=1

    2cosx (cosx+sinx-1) = 0

    2cosx=0 cosx+sinx=1

    True

    I did this with double angle formulas. sin2x=2sinxcosx, and cos2x=2cos^x-1. With plugging this in, I used factoring. At the end, there are two factors. One of the factors is cosx+sinx-1=0, which is cosx+sinx=1. Therefore, the answer is true.
