sqrt(2)cos(2θ)=-1

Solution

2 cos (2 θ) = - 1

Solution

θ = \frac{3 π}{8} + πn, θ = \frac{5 π}{8} + πn

Degrees

θ = 67. 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, θ = 112. 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

2 cos (2 θ) = - 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 cos (2 θ) = - 1

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 cos ( 2 θ )}{2} = \frac{- 1}{2}

Simplify

\frac{2 cos ( 2 θ )}{2} = \frac{- 1}{2}

Simplify

\frac{2 cos ( 2 θ )}{2} : cos (2 θ)

\frac{2 cos ( 2 θ )}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= cos (2 θ)

Simplify

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

\frac{- 1}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{1}{2}

Rationalize

- \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}

= - \frac{2}{2}

cos (2 θ) = - \frac{2}{2}

cos (2 θ) = - \frac{2}{2}

cos (2 θ) = - \frac{2}{2}
