Find all solutions to the equation. cos^2x + 2 cos x + 1 = 0

Mathematics
1 answer:
Black_prince [1.1K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = pi, 3pi, 5pi  etc

x = -pi, -3pi, -5pi etc

Step-by-step explanation:

cos^2 x + 2 cos x + 1 = 0

replace cos x with m

m^2 + 2m +1 = 0

solve by factoring  (this is a^2 +2ab+b^2 = (a+b)^2  where a =m and b=1)

(m+1)^2=0

take the square root of each side

m+1 =0

m=-1

now replace m with cos x

cos x = -1

take arccos  of each side

arccos cos x = arccos (-1)

x = pi, 3pi, 5pi  etc

7 7/8 - 3 1/4 equals what
ELEN [110]
The difference of 7 and 7/8 and 3 1/4 can be restated as the difference between 63/8 and 13/4. This is just a change from mixed numbers to improper fractions. 

We must now get a common denominator (the bottom part of a fraction). To get 8, we must multiply by 2 to the denominator of 13/4. Since we want this number to stay in the same value, we have to multiply the numerator by 2 as well (top part of the fraction). Therefore, we are getting the difference of 63/8 and 26/8. Doing this, we get (63-26)/8, so the answer is 37/8 = 4 5/8
