-6cos(x)=2-2cos(x)

Solution

- 6 cos (x) = 2 - 2 cos (x)

Solution

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

Degrees

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

Solution steps

- 6 cos (x) = 2 - 2 cos (x)

Solve by substitution

- 6 cos (x) = 2 - 2 cos (x)

Let:

cos (x) = u

- 6 u = 2 - 2 u

- 6 u = 2 - 2 u : u = - \frac{1}{2}

- 6 u = 2 - 2 u

Move

2 u

to the left side

- 6 u = 2 - 2 u

Add

2 u

to both sides

- 6 u + 2 u = 2 - 2 u + 2 u

Simplify

- 4 u = 2

- 4 u = 2

Divide both sides by

- 4

- 4 u = 2

Divide both sides by

- 4

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

Simplify

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

Simplify

\frac{- 4 u}{- 4} : u

\frac{- 4 u}{- 4}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{- b} = \frac{a}{b}

= \frac{4 u}{4}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{4}{4} = 1

= u

Simplify

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

\frac{2}{- 4}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{2}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= - \frac{1}{2}

u = - \frac{1}{2}

u = - \frac{1}{2}

u = - \frac{1}{2}

Substitute back

u = cos (x)

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

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

cos (x) = - \frac{1}{2} : x = \frac{2 π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{4 π}{3} + 2 πn

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