sqrt(2)cos(x)=1

2 cos (x) = 1

x = \frac{π}{4} + 2 πn, x = \frac{7 π}{4} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 4 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 31 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

2 cos (x) = 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 cos (x) = 1

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 cos ( x )}{2} = \frac{1}{2}

Simplify

\frac{2 cos ( x )}{2} = \frac{1}{2}

Simplify

\frac{2 cos ( x )}{2} : cos (x)

\frac{2 cos ( x )}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= cos (x)

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} : \frac{2}{2}

\frac{1}{2}

Multiply by the conjugate

\frac{2}{2}

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2 2}

1 \cdot 2 = 2

22 = 2

22

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

22 = 2

= 2

= \frac{2}{2}

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

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

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

x = \frac{π}{4} + 2 πn, x = \frac{7 π}{4} + 2 πn

x = \frac{π}{4} + 2 πn, x = \frac{7 π}{4} + 2 πn

sin (θ) = \frac{- 3}{2}

2 cos (\frac{x}{5}) - 2 = 0

2 sin^{2} (x) + 3 = 7 sin (x)

4 sin (x) = cos (x)

25 sin^{2} (θ) - 1 = 0
