cos^2(x)-sin^2(x)<0

Solution

cos^{2} (x) - sin^{2} (x) < 0

Solution

\frac{π}{4} + πn < x < \frac{3 π}{4} + πn

Interval Notation

(\frac{π}{4} + πn, \frac{3 π}{4} + πn)

Decimal

0.78539 \dots + πn < x < 2.35619 \dots + πn

Solution steps

cos^{2} (x) - sin^{2} (x) < 0

Use the following identity:

cos^{2} (x) - sin^{2} (x) = cos (2 x)

cos (2 x) < 0

For

cos (x) < a

, if

- 1 < a \leq 1

then

arccos (a) + 2 πn < x < 2 π - arccos (a) + 2 πn

arccos (0) + 2 πn < 2 x < 2 π - arccos (0) + 2 πn

a < u < b

then

a < u and u < b

arccos (0) + 2 πn < 2 x and 2 x < 2 π - arccos (0) + 2 πn

arccos (0) + 2 πn < 2 x : x > \frac{π}{4} + πn

arccos (0) + 2 πn < 2 x

Switch sides

2 x > arccos (0) + 2 πn

Simplify

arccos (0) + 2 πn : \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

arccos (0) + 2 πn

Use the following trivial identity:

arccos (0) = \frac{π}{2}

x - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2} 1 arccos (x) π \frac{5 π}{6} \frac{3 π}{4} \frac{2 π}{3} \frac{π}{2} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{6} 0 arccos (x) 18 0^{\circ} 15 0^{\circ} 13 5^{\circ} 12 0^{\circ} 9 0^{\circ} 6 0^{\circ} 4 5^{\circ} 3 0^{\circ} 0^{\circ}

= \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

2 x > \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

2 x > \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 x}{2} > \frac{\frac{π}{2}}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{2}

Simplify

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= x

Simplify

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{2} : \frac{π}{4} + πn

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{2}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{2} = \frac{π}{4}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a} = \frac{b}{c \cdot a}

= \frac{π}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{π}{4}

\frac{2 πn}{2} = πn

\frac{2 πn}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= πn

= \frac{π}{4} + πn

x > \frac{π}{4} + πn

x > \frac{π}{4} + πn

x > \frac{π}{4} + πn

2 x < 2 π - arccos (0) + 2 πn : x < \frac{3 π}{4} + πn

2 x < 2 π - arccos (0) + 2 πn

Simplify

2 π - arccos (0) + 2 πn : 2 π - \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

2 π - arccos (0) + 2 πn

Use the following trivial identity:

arccos (0) = \frac{π}{2}

x - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2} 1 arccos (x) π \frac{5 π}{6} \frac{3 π}{4} \frac{2 π}{3} \frac{π}{2} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{6} 0 arccos (x) 18 0^{\circ} 15 0^{\circ} 13 5^{\circ} 12 0^{\circ} 9 0^{\circ} 6 0^{\circ} 4 5^{\circ} 3 0^{\circ} 0^{\circ}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= π - \frac{π}{4} + πn

x < π - \frac{π}{4} + πn

x < π - \frac{π}{4} + πn

Simplify

π - \frac{π}{4} : \frac{3 π}{4}

π - \frac{π}{4}

Convert element to fraction:

π = \frac{π 4}{4}

= \frac{π 4}{4} - \frac{π}{4}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{π 4 - π}{4}

Add similar elements:

4 π - π = 3 π
