Answer:

x = π/4 and 5π/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression;

2cos²x - 1 = 0

2cos²x = 0+1

2cos²x = 1

cos²x = 1/2

cos x = ±√1/2

cos x = ±0.7071

x = arccos(±0.7071)

x = ±45 degrees

Convert to radians

Sence 180° = π rad

45° = x

x = 45π/180

x = π/4

If x = -45°

Since cos is negative in the 3rd quadrant

x = 180 + 45

x = 225°

x = 225π/180

x = 45π/36

x = 5π/4

If 2^n + 1 is an odd prime for some integer n, prove that n is a power of 2. (H

vovikov84 [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

We will prove by contradiction. Assume that $2^n + 1$ is an odd prime but n is not a power of 2. Then, there exists an odd prime number p such that $p\mid n$ . Then, for some integer $k\geq 1$ ,

$n=p\times k.$

Therefore

$2^n + 1=2^{p\times k} + 1=(2^{k})^p + 1^p.$

Here we will use the formula for the sum of odd powers, which states that, for $a,b\in \mathbb{R}$ and an odd positive number $n$ ,

$a^n+b^n=(a+b)(a^{n-1}-a^{n-2}b+a^{n-3}b^2-...+b^{n-1})$

Applying this formula in 1) we obtain that

$2^n + 1=2^{p\times k} + 1=(2^{k})^p + 1^p=(2^k+1)(2^{k(p-1)}-2^{k(p-2)}+...-2^{k}+1)$ .

Then, as $2^k+1>1$ we have that $2^n+1$ is not a prime number, which is a contradiction.

In conclusion, if $2^n+1$ is an odd prime, then n must be a power of 2.
