cos^2(3x)= 1/4

Solution

cos^{2} (3 x) = \frac{1}{4}

Solution

x = \frac{π}{9} + \frac{2 πn}{3}, x = \frac{5 π}{9} + \frac{2 πn}{3}, x = \frac{2 π}{9} + \frac{2 πn}{3}, x = \frac{4 π}{9} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

Degrees

x = 2 0^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ} n, x = 10 0^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ} n, x = 4 0^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ} n, x = 8 0^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos^{2} (3 x) = \frac{1}{4}

Solve by substitution

cos^{2} (3 x) = \frac{1}{4}

Let:

cos (3 x) = u

u^{2} = \frac{1}{4}

u^{2} = \frac{1}{4} : u = \frac{1}{2}, u = - \frac{1}{2}

u^{2} = \frac{1}{4}

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

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

u = \frac{1}{4}, u = - \frac{1}{4}

\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{2}

\frac{1}{4}

Apply radical rule:

assuming

a \geq 0, b \geq 0

= \frac{1}{4}

4 = 2

4

Factor the number:

4 = 2^{2}

= 2^{2}

Apply radical rule:

2^{2} = 2

= 2

= \frac{1}{2}

Apply rule

1 = 1

= \frac{1}{2}

- \frac{1}{4} = - \frac{1}{2}

- \frac{1}{4}

Simplify

\frac{1}{4} : \frac{1}{2}

\frac{1}{4}

Apply radical rule:

assuming

a \geq 0, b \geq 0

= \frac{1}{4}

4 = 2

4

Factor the number:

4 = 2^{2}

= 2^{2}

Apply radical rule:

2^{2} = 2

= 2

= \frac{1}{2}

= - \frac{1}{2}

Apply rule

1 = 1

= - \frac{1}{2}

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

Substitute back

u = cos (3 x)

cos (3 x) = \frac{1}{2}, cos (3 x) = - \frac{1}{2}

cos (3 x) = \frac{1}{2}, cos (3 x) = - \frac{1}{2}

cos (3 x) = \frac{1}{2} : x = \frac{π}{9} + \frac{2 πn}{3}, x = \frac{5 π}{9} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

cos (3 x) = \frac{1}{2}
