We must have either cos ( x ) = sin ( y ) = 1 or cos ( x ) = sin ( y ) = − 1 .
In the first case there are two values of x on the given interval for which cos ( x ) = 1 , namely 0 and 2 π , and two values of y for which sin ( y ) = 1 , namely 2 π and 2 5 π . This gives us 2 ∗ 2 = 4 ordered pairs.
In the second case there are two values of x on the given interval for which cos ( x ) = − 1 , namely π and 3 π , and just one value of y for which sin ( y ) = − 1 , namely 2 3 π . This gives us 2 ∗ 1 = 2 ordered pairs.
Thus the total number of ordered solution pairs is 4 + 2 = 6 .
