Mathematics

cos4x = cos2x

We know that:

cos2x = 1-2cos^2 x

==> cos4x = 1-2cos^2 (2x)

Now substitute:

==> 1-2cos^2 (2x) = cos2x

==> 2cos^2 (2x) + cos2x - 1 = 0

Now factor:

==> (2cos2x -1)(cos2x + 1) = 0

==> 2cos2x -1 = 0 ==> cos2x =1/2 ==> 2x= pi/3

==> x1= pi/6 , 7pi/6

==> x1= pi/6 + 2npi

==> x2= 7pi/6 + 2npi

==> cos2x = -1 ==> 2x= pi ==> x3 = pi/2 + 2npi.

<span>==> x= { pi/6+2npi, 7pi/6+2npi, pi/2+2npi}</span>

Answer:

The value of BEF = 36°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Angle AED = 90°

Angle BEF = 3x°

Angle CEF = 54°

Find;

The value of BEF

Computation:

We know that;

Angle AED = Angle BEC (Vertical opposite angle)

So,

Angle AED = Angle Angle BEF + Angle CEF

90 = 3x + 54

3x = 90 - 54

3x = 36

x = 36 / 3

x = 12

The value of BEF = 3x

The value of BEF = 3(12)

The value of BEF = 36°
