sqrt(2)cos(2x)-1=0

Solution

2 cos (2 x) - 1 = 0

Solution

x = \frac{π}{8} + πn, x = \frac{7 π}{8} + πn

Degrees

x = 22. 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 157. 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

2 cos (2 x) - 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

2 cos (2 x) - 1 = 0

Add

1

to both sides

2 cos (2 x) - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

2 cos (2 x) = 1

2 cos (2 x) = 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 cos (2 x) = 1

Divide both sides by

2

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

Simplify

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

Simplify

\frac{2 cos ( 2 x )}{2} : cos (2 x)

\frac{2 cos ( 2 x )}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= cos (2 x)

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} : \frac{2}{2}

\frac{1}{2}

Multiply by the conjugate

\frac{2}{2}

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2 2}

1 \cdot 2 = 2

22 = 2

22

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

22 = 2

= 2

= \frac{2}{2}

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

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

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