Best Answer

cos x - 0.5 = 0

⇒ cos x = 0.5

⇒ x = 2nπ ± π/3

Determine exact solution for cosx minus 0.5 equals 0?

X=60 how did you get that? could you show all the steps?


What is the exact solution to cosx equals x?

There is no "exact" solution. This type of equation falls into the category of transcendental equations, which generally don't have exact solution except in special cases. The approximate solution, however, is roughly 0.739085

Can you Show 1 over sinx cosx - cosx over sinx equals tanx?

From the Pythagorean identity, sin2x = 1-cos2x. LHS = 1/(sinx cosx) - cosx/sinx LHS = 1/(sinx cosx) - (cosx/sinx)(cosx/cosx) LHS = 1/(sinx cosx) - cos2x/(sinx cosx) LHS = (1- cos2x)/(sinx cosx) LHS = sin2x /(sinx cosx) [from Pythagorean identity] LHS = sin2x /(sinx cosx) LHS = sinx/cosx LHS = tanx [by definition] RHS = tanx LHS = RHS and so the identity is proven. Q.E.D.

x = 3pi/4


What is the period of y equals cosx?

The period is 2*pi radians.


How would you find x when 0 equals 2sinxcosx-cosx?

2sinxcosx-cosx=0 Factored : cosx(2sinx-1)=0 2 solutions: cosx=0 or sinx=.5 For cosx=0, x=90 or 270 degrees For sinx=.5, x=30 degrees x = {30, 90, 270}


Is the solution of 1 plus cosx equals 0 is Ļ€ plus 2kĻ€?

Yes, that looks good. That's 180 degrees plus every multiple of 360 degrees more.


Does sin x tan x plus cos x equals tan x?

NO, sinxtanx=sinxsinx/cosx since tanx is sinx/cosx this is sin^2xcosx now add cosx cosx(sin^2x+1) after factoring Does this equal tanx? No, since this would require tanx to equal cosx(sin^2x+1) and it does not.


Sin2x - radical 2 cosx equals 0?

Sin2x = radical 2


How do you simplify cosx plus sinx tanx?

to simplify Cosx=Sinx Tanx you should remember your fundamental and pythagorean identities.. Cosx + Sinx Tanx Cosx + Sinx (Sinx/Cosx) <---------- From Tanx= Sinx/Cosx Cosx + Sin2x/ Cos x <------------- do the LCD Cosx (Cosx/Cosx) + Sin2x/Cosx (Cos2x+Sin2x)/Cosx 1/Cosx <--------- From Sin2x + Cos2x =1 or Secx <-------- answer Comment if you have questions...:))


Cos x plus sin x equals 0?

cosx + sinx = 0 when sinx = -cosx. By dividing both sides by cosx you get: sinx/cosx = -1 tanx = -1 The values where tanx = -1 are 3pi/4, 7pi/4, etc. Those are equivalent to 135 degrees, 315 degrees, etc.
