Well, first of all, the equation in your question isn't clear.  I decided that you intended to write the equation

-20 cos²(x) - 3 cos(x) = -2

If this is not the correct equation, then you should stop reading right here.  Everything else from here on is nonsense, and you should report my answer.

= = = = =

If that <u>IS</u> the correct equation, then ...

Multiply each side by -1 . . . 20 cos²(x) + 3 cos(x) = 2

Subtract 2 from each side . . . 20 cos²(x) + 3 cos(x) - 2 = 0

This is a quadratic equation in 'cos(x)' .  I messed around for a while trying to factor it, and then I gave up and used the Quadratic Formula.

Like any other quadratic equation, this one has two roots:

(1).  cos(x) = -119/40  or  -0.475

(2).  cos(x) = 7/40  or  0.175

For the first one, the angle 'x' is <em>118.36°</em>  or  <em>241.64°</em>

For the second one, the angle 'x' is <em>79.92°</em>  or  <em>280.08°</em>

So the original equation ... the one with all the cosines in it ... actually has four (4) solutions.

What's the explicit formula for the sequence :")
zzz [600]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

a(n) = 12 - 3(n-1)          , n = 1,2,3.,,



Discussion:

The terms are 12, 9, 6, 3  so we are apparently subtracting 3 from each succeeding term. . Hence

a(n) = 12 - 3(n-1)          , n = 1,2,3.,,


Thank you,

MrB
