6cos(x)=2+2cos(x)

6 cos (x) = 2 + 2 cos (x)

x = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 6 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 30 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

6 cos (x) = 2 + 2 cos (x)

Solve by substitution

6 cos (x) = 2 + 2 cos (x)

Let:

cos (x) = u

6 u = 2 + 2 u

6 u = 2 + 2 u : u = \frac{1}{2}

6 u = 2 + 2 u

Move

2 u

to the left side

6 u = 2 + 2 u

Subtract

2 u

from both sides

6 u - 2 u = 2 + 2 u - 2 u

Simplify

4 u = 2

4 u = 2

Divide both sides by

4

4 u = 2

Divide both sides by

4

\frac{4 u}{4} = \frac{2}{4}

Simplify

u = \frac{1}{2}

u = \frac{1}{2}

Substitute back

u = cos (x)

cos (x) = \frac{1}{2}

cos (x) = \frac{1}{2}

cos (x) = \frac{1}{2} : x = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

cos (x) = \frac{1}{2}

x = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

x = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

Combine all the solutions

x = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

cosh (z) = 1, cosh (z) = - 2

tan (2 x) = \frac{- 3}{3}
