The statement of the problem is equivalent to sin x = - cos x. This is true for x = 135 degrees and x = -45 degrees, and also for (135 + 180n) degrees, where n is any integer.

How do you solve the equation cos2x plus 20 equals negative half?

Better formatting is cos(2x+20)=-0.5


Sin x cos x equals 0?

For the product to be zero, any of the factors must be zero, so you solve, separately, the two equations: sin x = 0 and: cos x = 0 Like many trigonometric equations, this will have an infinity of solutions, since sine and cosine are periodic functions.


Cos x equals -cos x plus 1?

No, but cos(-x) = cos(x), because the cosine function is an even function.

Solve Cos x - 1 equals 0?

cos x - 1 = 0 cos(x) = 1 x = 0 +/- k*pi radians where k = 1,2,3,...


How do you solve cos theta subtract cos squared theta divide 1 plus cos theta?

The question contains an expression but not an equation. An expression cannot be solved.


2 cos x plus 1 cos x plus -1 equals 0?

2 cos * cos * -1 = 2cos(square) * -1 =cos(square) + cos(square) *-1 =1- sin(square) +cos(square) * -1 1 - 1 * -1 =0


If a cos theta plus b sin theta equals 8 and a sin theta - b cos theta equals 5 show that a squared plus b squared equals 89?

There is a hint to how to solve this in what is required to be shown: a and b are both squared.Ifa cos θ + b sin θ = 8a sin θ - b cos θ = 5then square both sides of each to get:a² cos² θ + 2ab cos θ sin θ + b² sin² θ = 64a² sin² θ - 2ab sin θ cos θ + b² cos² θ = 25Now add the two together:a² cos² θ + a² sin² θ + b² sin² θ + b² cos² θ = 89→ a²(cos² θ + sin² θ) + b² (sin² θ + cos² θ) = 89using cos² θ + sin² θ = 1→ a² + b² = 89


What is the solution to sec plus tan equals cos over 1 plus sin?

sec + tan = cos /(1 + sin) sec and tan are defined so cos is non-zero. 1/cos + sin/cos = cos/(1 + sin) (1 + sin)/cos = cos/(1 + sin) cross-multiplying, (1 + sin)2 = cos2 (1 + sin)2 = 1 - sin2 1 + 2sin + sin2 = 1 - sin2 2sin2 + 2sin = 0 sin2 + sin = 0 sin(sin + 1) = 0 so sin = 0 or sin = -1 But sin = -1 implies that cos = 0 and cos is non-zero. Therefore sin = 0 or the solutions are k*pi radians where k is an integer.


What is the solution to cos tan-sin over cot equals 0?

either cos OR tan-sin equals zero socos=0 at pi/2 and 3pi/2ortan=sin which is impossibleim not sure though
