Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Trigonometric Equations
It’s required to solve:
for
Adding cos x:
Subtracting
Dividing by 2:
Solving for x:
We need to find the angles whose cosine is
over the given interval.
These angles lie on the quadrants III and IV respectively and they are:
x=135°, x=225°
Converting to radians:
135 * π / 180 = 3π/4
225 * π / 180 = 5π/4
The two solutions are:
