30=30cos(1/4 (x-5))+15

Solution

30 = 30 cos (\frac{1}{4} (x - 5)) + 15

Solution

x = \frac{4 π}{3} + 8 πn + 5, x = \frac{20 π}{3} + 8 πn + 5

Degrees

x = 526.47889 \dots^{\circ} + 144 0^{\circ} n, x = 1486.47889 \dots^{\circ} + 144 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

30 = 30 cos (\frac{1}{4} (x - 5)) + 15

Switch sides

30 cos (\frac{1}{4} (x - 5)) + 15 = 30

Move

15

to the right side

30 cos (\frac{1}{4} (x - 5)) + 15 = 30

Subtract

15

from both sides

30 cos (\frac{1}{4} (x - 5)) + 15 - 15 = 30 - 15

Simplify

30 cos (\frac{1}{4} (x - 5)) = 15

30 cos (\frac{1}{4} (x - 5)) = 15

Divide both sides by

30

30 cos (\frac{1}{4} (x - 5)) = 15

Divide both sides by

30

\frac{30 cos ( \frac{1}{4} ( x - 5 ) )}{30} = \frac{15}{30}

Simplify

cos (\frac{1}{4} (x - 5)) = \frac{1}{2}

cos (\frac{1}{4} (x - 5)) = \frac{1}{2}
