Solution

x = \frac{3 \cdot 2.30052 \dots}{π} + 6 n, x = - \frac{3 \cdot 2.30052 \dots}{π} + 6 n

Degrees

x = 125.86957 \dots^{\circ} + 343.77467 \dots^{\circ} n, x = - 125.86957 \dots^{\circ} + 343.77467 \dots^{\circ} n

Solution steps

12 cos (\frac{π}{3} x) + 8 = 0

Move

8

to the right side

12 cos (\frac{π}{3} x) + 8 = 0

Subtract

8

from both sides

12 cos (\frac{π}{3} x) + 8 - 8 = 0 - 8

Simplify

12 cos (\frac{π}{3} x) = - 8

12 cos (\frac{π}{3} x) = - 8

Divide both sides by

12

12 cos (\frac{π}{3} x) = - 8

Divide both sides by

12

\frac{12 cos ( \frac{π}{3} x )}{12} = \frac{- 8}{12}

Simplify

\frac{12 cos ( \frac{π}{3} x )}{12} = \frac{- 8}{12}

Simplify

\frac{12 cos ( \frac{π}{3} x )}{12} : cos (\frac{π}{3} x)

\frac{12 cos ( \frac{π}{3} x )}{12}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{12}{12} = 1

= cos (\frac{π}{3} x)

Simplify

\frac{- 8}{12} : - \frac{2}{3}

\frac{- 8}{12}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{8}{12}

Cancel the common factor:

= - \frac{2}{3}

cos (\frac{π}{3} x) = - \frac{2}{3}

cos (\frac{π}{3} x) = - \frac{2}{3}

cos (\frac{π}{3} x) = - \frac{2}{3}

Apply trig inverse properties

cos (\frac{π}{3} x) = - \frac{2}{3}

General solutions for

cos (\frac{π}{3} x) = - \frac{2}{3}

cos (x) = - a \Rightarrow x = arccos (- a) + 2 πn, x = - arccos (- a) + 2 πn

\frac{π}{3} x = arccos (- \frac{2}{3}) + 2 πn, \frac{π}{3} x = - arccos (- \frac{2}{3}) + 2 πn

\frac{π}{3} x = arccos (- \frac{2}{3}) + 2 πn, \frac{π}{3} x = - arccos (- \frac{2}{3}) + 2 πn

Solve

\frac{π}{3} x = arccos (- \frac{2}{3}) + 2 πn : x = \frac{3 arccos ( - \frac{2}{3} )}{π} + 6 n

\frac{π}{3} x = arccos (- \frac{2}{3}) + 2 πn

Multiply both sides by
