8cos(θ)=3-4cos(θ)

8 cos (θ) = 3 - 4 cos (θ)

θ = 1.31811 \dots + 2 πn, θ = 2 π - 1.31811 \dots + 2 πn

Solution steps

8 cos (θ) = 3 - 4 cos (θ)

Solve by substitution

cos (θ) = \frac{1}{4}

cos (θ) = \frac{1}{4} : θ = arccos (\frac{1}{4}) + 2 πn, θ = 2 π - arccos (\frac{1}{4}) + 2 πn

Combine all the solutions

θ = arccos (\frac{1}{4}) + 2 πn, θ = 2 π - arccos (\frac{1}{4}) + 2 πn

Show solutions in decimal form

θ = 1.31811 \dots + 2 πn, θ = 2 π - 1.31811 \dots + 2 πn

cos (θ) = \frac{3}{2}, sin (θ)

sin (θ) = 0.788

arctan (θ) = - 3

cos (θ) = \frac{2}{6}

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