cos(x/2)=-0.4

cos (\frac{x}{2}) = - 0.4

x = 2 \cdot 1.98231 \dots + 4 πn, x = - 2 \cdot 1.98231 \dots + 4 πn

Solution steps

cos (\frac{x}{2}) = - 0.4

Apply trig inverse properties

\frac{x}{2} = arccos (- 0.4) + 2 πn, \frac{x}{2} = - arccos (- 0.4) + 2 πn

Solve

\frac{x}{2} = arccos (- 0.4) + 2 πn : x = 2 arccos (- 0.4) + 4 πn

Solve

\frac{x}{2} = - arccos (- 0.4) + 2 πn : x = - 2 arccos (- 0.4) + 4 πn

x = 2 arccos (- 0.4) + 4 πn, x = - 2 arccos (- 0.4) + 4 πn

Show solutions in decimal form

x = 2 \cdot 1.98231 \dots + 4 πn, x = - 2 \cdot 1.98231 \dots + 4 πn

tan (x - 4 5^{\circ}) - tan (x + 4 5^{\circ}) = 4

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

sin (2 x) = 10 cos (x)

- 2 cos (3 θ) = 1, 0 \leq θ \leq 2 π

cos (a) = 0.998482
