-cos^2(θ)+1=0

Solution

- cos^{2} (θ) + 1 = 0

Solution

θ = 2 πn, θ = π + 2 πn

Degrees

θ = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

- cos^{2} (θ) + 1 = 0

Solve by substitution

- cos^{2} (θ) + 1 = 0

Let:

cos (θ) = u

- u^{2} + 1 = 0

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

- u^{2} + 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

- u^{2} + 1 = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

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

Simplify

- u^{2} = - 1

- u^{2} = - 1

Divide both sides by

- 1

- u^{2} = - 1

Divide both sides by

- 1

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

Simplify

u^{2} = 1

u^{2} = 1

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

x = f (a), - f (a)

u = 1, u = - 1

1 = 1

1

Apply rule

1 = 1

= 1

- 1 = - 1

- 1

Apply rule

1 = 1

= - 1

u = 1, u = - 1

Substitute back

u = cos (θ)

cos (θ) = 1, cos (θ) = - 1

cos (θ) = 1, cos (θ) = - 1

cos (θ) = 1 : θ = 2 πn

cos (θ) = 1

θ = 0 + 2 πn

θ = 0 + 2 πn

Solve

θ = 0 + 2 πn : θ = 2 πn

θ = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

θ = 2 πn

θ = 2 πn
