1/2-cos(x)=0

\frac{1}{2} - cos (x) = 0

x = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 6 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 30 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

\frac{1}{2} - cos (x) = 0

Move

\frac{1}{2}

to the right side

\frac{1}{2} - cos (x) = 0

Subtract

\frac{1}{2}

from both sides

\frac{1}{2} - cos (x) - \frac{1}{2} = 0 - \frac{1}{2}

Simplify

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

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

Divide both sides by

- 1

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

Divide both sides by

- 1

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

Simplify

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

Simplify

\frac{- cos ( x )}{- 1} : cos (x)

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

Apply the fraction rule:

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

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

Apply rule

\frac{a}{1} = a

= cos (x)

Simplify

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

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

Apply the fraction rule:

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

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

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{1} = a

= \frac{1}{2}

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

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

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

x = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

x = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

cos^{2} (x) - sin (x) cos (x) = 0

x, 4 sin (x) + 2 = 0

- tan^{2} (x) - 2 tan (x) - 1 = 0

cos (5 x) = cos (3 x)

2 cos (2 t) = 0
