1=cos(x)

1 = cos (x)

x = 2 πn

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

1 = cos (x)

Switch sides

cos (x) = 1

General solutions for

cos (x) = 1

x 0 \frac{π}{6} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{2} \frac{2 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{4} \frac{5 π}{6} cos (x) 1 \frac{3}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{1}{2} 0 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} x π \frac{7 π}{6} \frac{5 π}{4} \frac{4 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{2} \frac{5 π}{3} \frac{7 π}{4} \frac{11 π}{6} cos (x) - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2}

x = 0 + 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn

Solve

x = 0 + 2 πn : x = 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

x = 2 πn

x = 2 πn

(cot (θ) - 1) (2 sin (θ) + 1) = 0

sin (θ) = \frac{4}{7}

sin^{2} (θ) + 3 sin (θ) - 4 = 0

cos (2 θ) = \frac{2}{2}

4 cos (x) = 0
