0=-18cos(3x)

Solution

0 = - 18 cos (3 x)

Solution

x = \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}, x = \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

Degrees

x = 3 0^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ} n, x = 9 0^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

0 = - 18 cos (3 x)

Switch sides

- 18 cos (3 x) = 0

Divide both sides by

- 18

- 18 cos (3 x) = 0

Divide both sides by

- 18

\frac{- 18 cos ( 3 x )}{- 18} = \frac{0}{- 18}

Simplify

cos (3 x) = 0

cos (3 x) = 0

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

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

Solve

3 x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn : x = \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

3 x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

3

3 x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

3

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

Simplify

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

Simplify

\frac{3 x}{3} : x

\frac{3 x}{3}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{3}{3} = 1

= x

Simplify

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3} : \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{3} = \frac{π}{6}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{3}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a} = \frac{b}{c \cdot a}

= \frac{π}{2 \cdot 3}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 = 6

= \frac{π}{6}

= \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x = \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x = \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x = \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

Solve

3 x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn : x = \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

3 x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

3

3 x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

3

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

Simplify

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

Simplify

\frac{3 x}{3} : x

\frac{3 x}{3}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{3}{3} = 1

= x

Simplify

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3} : \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{3} = \frac{π}{2}

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{3}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a} = \frac{b}{c \cdot a}

= \frac{3 π}{2 \cdot 3}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 = 6

= \frac{3 π}{6}

Cancel the common factor:

3

= \frac{π}{2}

= \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x = \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x = \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x = \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x = \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}, x = \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{3}
