Solution
To translate the graph of y=2sin(2x+3π) to the right by φ (0<φ<π) units, we get the graph of y=2sin(2x−2φ+3π). According to the problem, we have y=2sinx(sinx−cosx)−1=2sin2x−sin2x−1=−sin2x−cos2x=−2sin(2x+4π)=2sin(2x+45π). Therefore, −2φ+3π=45π+2kπ, where k∈Z. This implies φ=−kπ−2411π. Thus, φ=2413π. This problem involves using the transformation rules of the graph of the function y=Asin(ωx+φ) and deriving formulas from these rules. The main focus of this problem is on the application of the transformation rules and formula derivation for the function y=Asin(ωx+φ), which is considered a basic problem.
