Question:
Solve: tanx=−√3
Answer:
Step 1: Solve for x in terms of the inverse tangent: x = tan-1(-√3).
Step 2: Use a calculator to calculate the value of x, which is approximately -54.735610317245 degrees.
Question:
Principle solution of equation cotx=−√3 is A π/3 B 2π/3 C π/6 D 5π/6
Answer:
Step 1: Write the equation in terms of sine and cosine.
cotx = -√3
=> sinx/cosx = -√3
Step 2: Solve for sinx.
sinx = -√3cosx
Step 3: Use the fact that sin2x + cos2x = 1 to solve for cosx.
cos2x = 1 + (√3)2cos2x
=> cos2x = 1 - 3cos2x
=> 4cos2x = 1
=> cos2x = 1/4
Step 4: Solve for x.
cosx = ±1/2
=> x = ±π/3 or ±2π/3
Therefore, the principle solution of the equation cotx=-√3 is A π/3.
Question:
Solve the following equation: cosx+cos3x−cos2x=0
Answer:
-
Cosx + Cos3x - Cos2x = 0
-
Cosx + Cos(2x + x) - Cos2x = 0
-
Cosx + Cos2x*Cosx - Cos2x = 0
-
Cosx(1 + Cos2x) - Cos2x = 0
-
Cos2x(Cosx - 1) = 0
-
Cosx = 1 or Cos2x = 0
-
x = 0 or x = ±π/2
Question:
Find the general solution: cos3x+cosx−cos2x=0
Answer:
Step 1: Use the identity cos(A + B) = cosAcosB - sinAsinB to rewrite the equation as cos3x + cosx - (2cos2x - 1) = 0
Step 2: Use the identity cos2A = 2cos2A-1 to rewrite the equation as cos3x + cosx - 2cos2x + 1 = 0
Step 3: Factor out the common factor of cosx to get cosx(cos2x + 1) = 0
Step 4: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x: cosx = 0 ⇒ x = (2n + 1)π/2 cos2x + 1 = 0 ⇒ 2cos2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ cosx = ±1/√2 ⇒ x = (2n + 1)π/3, (2n + 1)5π/6
Question:
Find the general solution: cos4x=cos2x
Answer:
-
Rewrite the equation as cos4x=1-2sin2x.
-
Replace cos4x with (cos2x)2.
-
Factor the equation to get (cos2x-1)(cos2x+1)=2sin2x.
-
Solve for cos2x by dividing each side by (cos2x+1): cos2x=1-2sin2x/(cos2x+1).
-
Solve for sin2x by using the Pythagorean identity: sin2x=sqrt(1-(1-2sin2x/(cos2x+1))2).
-
The general solution is cos2x=1-2sin2x/(cos2x+1) and sin2x=sqrt(1-(1-2sin2x/(cos2x+1))2).
Question:

-
Set each factor equal to zero: 2sinx+1=0 and cosx=0
-
Solve for each factor: 2sinx=-1 and cosx=0
-
Find the solution for each equation: x= -π/4 and x=π/2
-
The general solution of the equation sin2x+cosx=0 is x=-π/4 and x=π/2.
Question:
Find the general solution of cosec x = -2.
Answer:
Step 1: cosec x = -2
Step 2: 1/sin x = -2
Step 3: sin x = -1/2
Step 4: x = arcsin(-1/2) + 2πn, where n is an integer.
Step 5: The general solution is x = arcsin(-1/2) + 2πn, where n is an integer.
Question:
Find the general solution of the equation sec22x=1−tan2x.
Answer:
- sec2 2x = 1 - tan2x
- sec2 2x = sec2x - tan2x
- sec2 2x - sec2x = -tan2x
- (sec2x)(sec2x - 1) = -tan2x
- sec2x = -tan2x/(sec2x - 1)
- 2x = arctan(-tan2x/(sec2x - 1)) + nπ for any integer n
