I did it like this.
\[2cosx\leq|\sqrt{1+sin2x}-\sqrt{1-sin2x}|\]
by squaring and simplifying
\[ 2cos^2x\le 1-cos2x\]
\[\Rightarrow 2cos^2x\le2-2cos^2x\]
\[\Rightarrow cosx\le\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\]

\[\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}e^{\frac{2 \pi i k}{n}}=0\]
Using $L^AT_EX$ and following the rules of the forum are very easy but really important, too.Please co-operate.

1. \[ 2cos^2x\le 1-cos2x\]

2. \[\Rightarrow 2cos^2x\le2-2cosx\]
3.\[\Rightarrow (cosx+1)(2cosx-1)\le0\]

is there any bug :?:
Tiham, I did not understand how u got from line 1 to line 2.
$cos2x=2cos^2x-1$
Put this in your equation and check..
