3+cos(4θ)=2-cos(4θ)

Solution

3 + cos (4 θ) = 2 - cos (4 θ)

Solution

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

Degrees

θ = 3 0^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n, θ = 6 0^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

3 + cos (4 θ) = 2 - cos (4 θ)

Solve by substitution

3 + cos (4 θ) = 2 - cos (4 θ)

Let:

cos (4 θ) = u

3 + u = 2 - u

3 + u = 2 - u : u = - \frac{1}{2}

3 + u = 2 - u

Move

3

to the right side

3 + u = 2 - u

Subtract

3

from both sides

3 + u - 3 = 2 - u - 3

Simplify

u = - u - 1

u = - u - 1

Move

u

to the left side

u = - u - 1

Add

u

to both sides

u + u = - u - 1 + u

Simplify

2 u = - 1

2 u = - 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 u = - 1

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 u}{2} = \frac{- 1}{2}

Simplify

u = - \frac{1}{2}

u = - \frac{1}{2}

Substitute back

u = cos (4 θ)

cos (4 θ) = - \frac{1}{2}

cos (4 θ) = - \frac{1}{2}

cos (4 θ) = - \frac{1}{2} : θ = \frac{π}{6} + \frac{πn}{2}, θ = \frac{π}{3} + \frac{πn}{2}

cos (4 θ) = - \frac{1}{2}
