Show that cos2x=cosx

Mathematics

cos (2x) = cos x

2 cos^2 x -1 = cos x   using the double angle formula

2 cos ^2 x -cos x -1 =0

factor

(2 cos x+1) ( cos x -1) = 0

using the zero product property

2 cos x+1 =0    cos x -1 =0

2 cos x = -1       cos x =1

cos x = -1/2       cos x=1

taking the arccos of each side

arccos cos x = arccos (-1/2)         arccos cos x = arccos 1

x = 120 degrees   x=-120   degrees           x=0

remember you get 2 values ( 2nd and 3rd quadrant)

these are the principal values

now we need to add 360

x = 120+ 360n      x=-120+ 360n      x = 0 + 360n  where n is an integer

If n is an integer, which conjecture is not true about 2n– 1? A. 2n– 1 is odd if n is positive. B. 2n– 1 is always even. C. 2n–
VladimirAG [237]
B.



Let's simply look at each conjecture and determine if it's true or false.



A. 2n– 1 is odd if n is positive: Since n is an integer, 2n will always be even. And an even number minus 1 is always odd. Doesn't matter if n is positive or not. So this conjecture is true.



B. 2n– 1 is always even: Once again, 2n will always be even. So 2n-1 will always be odd. This conjecture is false.



C. 2n– 1 is odd if n is even: 2n is always even, so 2n-1 will always be odd, regardless of what n is. So this conjecture is true.



D. 2n– 1 is always odd: 2n will always be even. So 2n-1 will always be odd. Once again, this conjecture is true.



Of the 4 conjectures above, only conjecture B is false. So the answer is B.
