cos^4(x)=cos^{23}(x)

Solution

cos^{4} (x) = cos^{23} (x)

Solution

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

Degrees

x = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos^{4} (x) = cos^{23} (x)

Solve by substitution

cos^{4} (x) = cos^{23} (x)

Let:

cos (x) = u

u^{4} = u^{23}

u^{4} = u^{23} : u = 0, u = 1

u^{4} = u^{23}

Switch sides

u^{23} = u^{4}

Move

u^{4}

to the left side

u^{23} = u^{4}

Subtract

u^{4}

from both sides

u^{23} - u^{4} = u^{4} - u^{4}

Simplify

u^{23} - u^{4} = 0

u^{23} - u^{4} = 0

Factor

u^{23} - u^{4} : u^{4} (u - 1) (u^{18} + u^{17} + u^{16} + u^{15} + u^{14} + u^{13} + u^{12} + u^{11} + u^{10} + u^{9} + u^{8} + u^{7} + u^{6} + u^{5} + u^{4} + u^{3} + u^{2} + u + 1)

u^{23} - u^{4}

Factor out common term

u^{4} : u^{4} (u^{19} - 1)

u^{23} - u^{4}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b + c} = a^{b} a^{c}

u^{23} = u^{19} u^{4}

= u^{19} u^{4} - u^{4}

Factor out common term

u^{4}

= u^{4} (u^{19} - 1)

= u^{4} (u^{19} - 1)

Factor

u^{19} - 1 : (u - 1) (u^{18} + u^{17} + u^{16} + u^{15} + u^{14} + u^{13} + u^{12} + u^{11} + u^{10} + u^{9} + u^{8} + u^{7} + u^{6} + u^{5} + u^{4} + u^{3} + u^{2} + u + 1)

u^{19} - 1

Rewrite

1

1^{19}

= u^{19} - 1^{19}

Apply factoring rule:

x^{n} - y^{n} = (x - y) (x^{n - 1} + x^{n - 2} y + \dots + x y^{n - 2} y^{n - 1})

u^{19} - 1^{19} = (u - 1) (u^{18} + u^{17} + u^{16} + u^{15} + u^{14} + u^{13} + u^{12} + u^{11} + u^{10} + u^{9} + u^{8} + u^{7} + u^{6} + u^{5} + u^{4} + u^{3} + u^{2} + u + 1)

= (u - 1) (u^{18} + u^{17} + u^{16} + u^{15} + u^{14} + u^{13} + u^{12} + u^{11} + u^{10} + u^{9} + u^{8} + u^{7} + u^{6} + u^{5} + u^{4} + u^{3} + u^{2} + u + 1)

= u^{4} (u - 1) (u^{18} + u^{17} + u^{16} + u^{15} + u^{14} + u^{13} + u^{12} + u^{11} + u^{10} + u^{9} + u^{8} + u^{7} + u^{6} + u^{5} + u^{4} + u^{3} + u^{2} + u + 1)

u^{4} (u - 1) (u^{18} + u^{17} + u^{16} + u^{15} + u^{14} + u^{13} + u^{12} + u^{11} + u^{10} + u^{9} + u^{8} + u^{7} + u^{6} + u^{5} + u^{4} + u^{3} + u^{2} + u + 1) = 0

Using the Zero Factor Principle:

ab = 0

then

a = 0

b = 0

u = 0 or u - 1 = 0 or u^{18} + u^{17} + u^{16} + u^{15} + u^{14} + u^{13} + u^{12} + u^{11} + u^{10} + u^{9} + u^{8} + u^{7} + u^{6} + u^{5} + u^{4} + u^{3} + u^{2} + u + 1 = 0

Solve

u - 1 = 0 : u = 1

u - 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

u - 1 = 0

Add

1

to both sides

u - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

u = 1

u = 1
