Solution

960=480(1−cos(7.5x))

Solution

x=152π​+154πn​
+1
Degrees
x=24∘+48∘n
Solution steps
960=480(1−cos(7.5x))
Switch sides480(1−cos(7.5x))=960
Divide both sides by 480
480(1−cos(7.5x))=960
Divide both sides by 480480480(1−cos(7.5x))​=480960​
Simplify1−cos(7.5x)=2
1−cos(7.5x)=2
Move 1to the right side
1−cos(7.5x)=2
Subtract 1 from both sides1−cos(7.5x)−1=2−1
Simplify−cos(7.5x)=1
−cos(7.5x)=1
Divide both sides by −1
−cos(7.5x)=1
Divide both sides by −1−1−cos(7.5x)​=−11​
Simplifycos(7.5x)=−1
cos(7.5x)=−1
General solutions for cos(7.5x)=−1

7.5x=π+2πn
7.5x=π+2πn
Solve 7.5x=π+2πn:x=152π​+154πn​
7.5x=π+2πn
Multiply both sides by 10
7.5x=π+2πn
To eliminate decimal points, multiply by 10 for every digit after the decimal pointThere is one digit to the right of the decimal point, therefore multiply by 107.5x⋅10=π10+2πn⋅10
Refine75x=10π+20πn
75x=10π+20πn
Divide both sides by 75
75x=10π+20πn
Divide both sides by 757575x​=7510π​+7520πn​
Simplify
7575x​=7510π​+7520πn​
Simplify 7575x​:x
7575x​
Divide the numbers: 7575​=1=x
Simplify 7510π​+7520πn​:152π​+154πn​
7510π​+7520πn​
Cancel 7510π​:152π​
7510π​
Cancel the common factor: 5=152π​
=152π​+7520πn​
Cancel 7520πn​:154πn​
7520πn​
Cancel the common factor: 5=154πn​
=152π​+154πn​
x=152π​+154πn​
x=152π​+154πn​
x=152π​+154πn​
x=152π​+154πn​
