3+2cos(θ)=2

3 + 2 cos (θ) = 2

θ = \frac{2 π}{3} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{4 π}{3} + 2 πn

Degrees

θ = 12 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 24 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

3 + 2 cos (θ) = 2

Move

3

to the right side

3 + 2 cos (θ) = 2

Subtract

3

from both sides

3 + 2 cos (θ) - 3 = 2 - 3

Simplify

2 cos (θ) = - 1

2 cos (θ) = - 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 cos (θ) = - 1

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 cos ( θ )}{2} = \frac{- 1}{2}

Simplify

cos (θ) = - \frac{1}{2}

cos (θ) = - \frac{1}{2}

tan (θ) = \frac{1.25}{2}

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

cos (x) = - \frac{1}{5}

cos (x) = - \frac{4}{3}
