x=6.36122…∘+36∘n,x=29.63877…∘+36∘n
Solution steps
18cos(10x)+2=10
Move 2to the right side
18cos(10x)+2=10
Subtract 2 from both sides18cos(10x)+2−2=10−2
Simplify18cos(10x)=8
18cos(10x)=8
Divide both sides by 18
18cos(10x)=8
Divide both sides by 181818cos(10x)​=188​
Simplifycos(10x)=94​
cos(10x)=94​
Apply trig inverse properties
cos(10x)=94​
General solutions for cos(10x)=94​cos(x)=a⇒x=arccos(a)+2πn,x=2π−arccos(a)+2πn10x=arccos(94​)+2πn,10x=2π−arccos(94​)+2πn
10x=arccos(94​)+2πn,10x=2π−arccos(94​)+2πn
Solve 10x=arccos(94​)+2πn:x=10arccos(94​)​+5πn​
10x=arccos(94​)+2πn
Divide both sides by 10
10x=arccos(94​)+2πn
Divide both sides by 101010x​=10arccos(94​)​+102πn​
Simplifyx=10arccos(94​)​+5πn​
x=10arccos(94​)​+5πn​
Solve 10x=2π−arccos(94​)+2πn:x=5π​−10arccos(94​)​+5πn​
10x=2π−arccos(94​)+2πn
Divide both sides by 10
10x=2π−arccos(94​)+2πn
Divide both sides by 101010x​=102π​−10arccos(94​)​+102πn​
Simplify
1010x​=102π​−10arccos(94​)​+102πn​
Simplify 1010x​:x
1010x​
Divide the numbers: 1010​=1=x
Simplify 102π​−10arccos(94​)​+102πn​:5π​−10arccos(94​)​+5πn​
