2cos^2(2x)+3cos(2x)+1=0

Solution

2 cos^{2} (2 x) + 3 cos (2 x) + 1 = 0

Solution

x = \frac{π}{3} + πn, x = \frac{2 π}{3} + πn, x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

Degrees

x = 6 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 12 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 9 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

2 cos^{2} (2 x) + 3 cos (2 x) + 1 = 0

Solve by substitution

2 cos^{2} (2 x) + 3 cos (2 x) + 1 = 0

Let:

cos (2 x) = u

2 u^{2} + 3 u + 1 = 0

2 u^{2} + 3 u + 1 = 0 : u = - \frac{1}{2}, u = - 1

2 u^{2} + 3 u + 1 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

2 u^{2} + 3 u + 1 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 2, b = 3, c = 1

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 3 \pm 3 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 2}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 3 \pm 3 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 2}

3^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 1 = 1

3^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 1

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 1 = 8

= 3^{2} - 8

3^{2} = 9

= 9 - 8

Subtract the numbers:

9 - 8 = 1

= 1

Apply rule

1 = 1

= 1

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 3 \pm 1}{2 \cdot 2}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- 3 + 1}{2 \cdot 2}, u_{2} = \frac{- 3 - 1}{2 \cdot 2}

u = \frac{- 3 + 1}{2 \cdot 2} : - \frac{1}{2}

\frac{- 3 + 1}{2 \cdot 2}

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 3 + 1 = - 2

= \frac{- 2}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{- 2}{4}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{2}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= - \frac{1}{2}

u = \frac{- 3 - 1}{2 \cdot 2} : - 1

\frac{- 3 - 1}{2 \cdot 2}

Subtract the numbers:

- 3 - 1 = - 4

= \frac{- 4}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{- 4}{4}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{4}{4}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= - 1

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = - \frac{1}{2}, u = - 1

Substitute back

u = cos (2 x)

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

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

cos (2 x) = - \frac{1}{2} : x = \frac{π}{3} + πn, x = \frac{2 π}{3} + πn

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