4cos(θ)=4(1-cos(θ))

4 cos (θ) = 4 (1 - cos (θ))

θ = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

Degrees

θ = 6 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 30 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

4 cos (θ) = 4 (1 - cos (θ))

Solve by substitution

4 cos (θ) = 4 (1 - cos (θ))

Let:

cos (θ) = u

4 u = 4 (1 - u)

4 u = 4 (1 - u) : u = \frac{1}{2}

4 u = 4 (1 - u)

Expand

4 (1 - u) : 4 - 4 u

4 (1 - u)

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = 4, b = 1, c = u

= 4 \cdot 1 - 4 u

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 1 = 4

= 4 - 4 u

4 u = 4 - 4 u

Move

4 u

to the left side

4 u = 4 - 4 u

Add

4 u

to both sides

4 u + 4 u = 4 - 4 u + 4 u

Simplify

8 u = 4

8 u = 4

Divide both sides by

8

8 u = 4

Divide both sides by

8

\frac{8 u}{8} = \frac{4}{8}

Simplify

u = \frac{1}{2}

u = \frac{1}{2}

Substitute back

u = cos (θ)

cos (θ) = \frac{1}{2}

cos (θ) = \frac{1}{2}

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

cos (θ) = \frac{1}{2}

θ = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

θ = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

Combine all the solutions

θ = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn
