-2cos(2θ)=1

Solution

- 2 cos (2 θ) = 1

Solution

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

Degrees

θ = 6 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, θ = 12 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

- 2 cos (2 θ) = 1

Divide both sides by

- 2

- 2 cos (2 θ) = 1

Divide both sides by

- 2

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

Simplify

cos (2 θ) = - \frac{1}{2}

cos (2 θ) = - \frac{1}{2}

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

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

Solve

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

2 θ = \frac{2 π}{3} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

2 θ = \frac{2 π}{3} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

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

Simplify

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

Simplify

\frac{2 θ}{2} : θ

\frac{2 θ}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= θ

Simplify

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

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

\frac{\frac{2 π}{3}}{2} = \frac{π}{3}

\frac{\frac{2 π}{3}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{2 π}{3 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 2 = 6

= \frac{2 π}{6}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{π}{3}

\frac{2 πn}{2} = πn

\frac{2 πn}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= πn

= \frac{π}{3} + πn

θ = \frac{π}{3} + πn

θ = \frac{π}{3} + πn

θ = \frac{π}{3} + πn

Solve

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

2 θ = \frac{4 π}{3} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

2 θ = \frac{4 π}{3} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

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

Simplify

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

Simplify

\frac{2 θ}{2} : θ

\frac{2 θ}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= θ

Simplify

\frac{\frac{4 π}{3}}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{2} : \frac{2 π}{3} + πn

\frac{\frac{4 π}{3}}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{2}

\frac{\frac{4 π}{3}}{2} = \frac{2 π}{3}

\frac{\frac{4 π}{3}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{4 π}{3 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:
