4cos^2(θ)+4=5

Solution

4 cos^{2} (θ) + 4 = 5

Solution

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

Degrees

θ = 6 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 30 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 12 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 24 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

4 cos^{2} (θ) + 4 = 5

Solve by substitution

4 cos^{2} (θ) + 4 = 5

Let:

cos (θ) = u

4 u^{2} + 4 = 5

4 u^{2} + 4 = 5 : u = \frac{1}{2}, u = - \frac{1}{2}

4 u^{2} + 4 = 5

Move

4

to the right side

4 u^{2} + 4 = 5

Subtract

4

from both sides

4 u^{2} + 4 - 4 = 5 - 4

Simplify

4 u^{2} = 1

4 u^{2} = 1

Divide both sides by

4

4 u^{2} = 1

Divide both sides by

4

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

Simplify

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

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}

Apply radical rule:

assuming

a \geq 0, b \geq 0

= \frac{1}{4}

4 = 2

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 (θ)

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

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}
