cos^2(t)= 3/4

Solution

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

Solution

t = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, t = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn, t = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn, t = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn

Degrees

t = 3 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, t = 33 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, t = 15 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, t = 21 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

cos (t) = u

u^{2} = \frac{3}{4}

u^{2} = \frac{3}{4} : u = \frac{3}{2}, u = - \frac{3}{2}

u^{2} = \frac{3}{4}

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

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

u = \frac{3}{4}, u = - \frac{3}{4}

\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{2}

\frac{3}{4}

Apply radical rule:

assuming

a \geq 0, b \geq 0

= \frac{3}{4}

4 = 2

4

Factor the number:

4 = 2^{2}

= 2^{2}

Apply radical rule:

2^{2} = 2

= 2

= \frac{3}{2}

- \frac{3}{4} = - \frac{3}{2}

- \frac{3}{4}

Simplify

\frac{3}{4} : \frac{3}{2}

\frac{3}{4}

Apply radical rule:

assuming

a \geq 0, b \geq 0

= \frac{3}{4}

4 = 2

4

Factor the number:

4 = 2^{2}

= 2^{2}

Apply radical rule:

2^{2} = 2

= 2

= \frac{3}{2}

= - \frac{3}{2}

u = \frac{3}{2}, u = - \frac{3}{2}

Substitute back

u = cos (t)

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

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

cos (t) = \frac{3}{2} : t = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, t = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn

cos (t) = \frac{3}{2}
