Step-by-step explanation:
Let's represent the two integers with the variables
and
.
From the problem statement, we can create the following two equations:


With the first equation, we can subtract
from both sides to isolate the
variable to the left-hand side:

Now that we have a value for
, we can plug it into the second equation and solve for
:


Now, let's move everything to one side of the equation:

Factoring this quadratic will give us two values for
:


Since we now know
, we can plug this back into either of the original equations to get a value for
, which will be
.
So the two numbers that sum to
and have a product of
are
.
Answer:
x ∈ {2π/3, π, 4π/3} ≈ {2.09440, 3.14159, 4.18879}
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation can be put into standard form by adding 1:
2cos²(x) +3cos(x) +1 = 0
(2cos(x) +1)(cos(x) +1) = 0
Values of cos(x) that make this true* are ...
cos(x) = -1/2 . . . . . . . . . true for x=2π/3, x=4π/3
cos(x) = -1 . . . . . . . . . . . true for x=π
