cos^2(x)>= 1

Solution

cos^{2} (x) \geq 1

Solution

x = π + 2 πn

Decimal

x = 3.14159 \dots + 2 πn

Solution steps

cos^{2} (x) \geq 1

For

u^{n} \geq a

, if

n

is even then

cos (x) \leq - 1 or cos (x) \geq 1

cos (x) \leq - 1 : x = π + 2 πn

cos (x) \leq - 1

For

cos (x) \leq a

, if

- 1 < a < 1

then

arccos (a) + 2 πn \leq x \leq 2 π - arccos (a) + 2 πn

arccos (- 1) + 2 πn \leq x \leq 2 π - arccos (- 1) + 2 πn
