2cos(x)=-sqrt(3)

2 cos (x) = - 3

x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 15 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 21 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

2 cos (x) = - 3

Divide both sides by

2

2 cos (x) = - 3

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 cos ( x )}{2} = \frac{- 3}{2}

Simplify

cos (x) = - \frac{3}{2}

cos (x) = - \frac{3}{2}

cos (θ) = \frac{1}{3}

4 sin^{2} (x) = 3, 0 \leq x \leq 2 π

3 sin (x) + 1 = sin (x)

cos (2 θ - \frac{π}{2}) = 1

- sin (2 x) + cos (x) = 0
