5cos(x)+3=3cos(x)+5

Solution

5 cos (x) + 3 = 3 cos (x) + 5

Solution

x = 2 πn

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

5 cos (x) + 3 = 3 cos (x) + 5

Solve by substitution

5 cos (x) + 3 = 3 cos (x) + 5

Let:

cos (x) = u

5 u + 3 = 3 u + 5

5 u + 3 = 3 u + 5 : u = 1

5 u + 3 = 3 u + 5

Move

3

to the right side

5 u + 3 = 3 u + 5

Subtract

3

from both sides

5 u + 3 - 3 = 3 u + 5 - 3

Simplify

5 u = 3 u + 2

5 u = 3 u + 2

Move

3 u

to the left side

5 u = 3 u + 2

Subtract

3 u

from both sides

5 u - 3 u = 3 u + 2 - 3 u

Simplify

2 u = 2

2 u = 2

Divide both sides by

2

2 u = 2

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 u}{2} = \frac{2}{2}

Simplify

u = 1

u = 1

Substitute back

u = cos (x)

cos (x) = 1

cos (x) = 1

cos (x) = 1 : x = 2 πn

cos (x) = 1

x = 0 + 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn

Solve

x = 0 + 2 πn : x = 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

x = 2 πn

x = 2 πn

Combine all the solutions

x = 2 πn
