-cos(3x)<0

Solution

- cos (3 x) < 0

Solution

- \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 π}{3} n < x < \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 π}{3} n

Interval Notation

(- \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 π}{3} n, \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 π}{3} n)

Decimal

- 0.52359 \dots + \frac{2 π}{3} n < x < 0.52359 \dots + \frac{2 π}{3} n

Solution steps

- cos (3 x) < 0

Multiply both sides by

- 1

- cos (3 x) < 0

Multiply both sides by -1 (reverse the inequality)

(- cos (3 x)) (- 1) > 0 \cdot (- 1)

Simplify

cos (3 x) > 0

cos (3 x) > 0

For

cos (x) > a

, if

- 1 \leq a < 1

then

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

- arccos (0) + 2 πn < 3 x < arccos (0) + 2 πn

a < u < b

then

a < u and u < b

- arccos (0) + 2 πn < 3 x and 3 x < arccos (0) + 2 πn

- arccos (0) + 2 πn < 3 x : x > - \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

- arccos (0) + 2 πn < 3 x

Switch sides

3 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

3 x > - \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

3

3 x > - \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

3

\frac{3 x}{3} > - \frac{\frac{π}{2}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

Simplify

\frac{3 x}{3} > - \frac{\frac{π}{2}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

Simplify

\frac{3 x}{3} : x

\frac{3 x}{3}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{3}{3} = 1

= x

Simplify

- \frac{\frac{π}{2}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3} : - \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

- \frac{\frac{π}{2}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{3} = \frac{π}{6}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{3}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{π}{2 \cdot 3}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 = 6

= \frac{π}{6}

= - \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x > - \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x > - \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x > - \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

3 x < arccos (0) + 2 πn : x < \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

3 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

3 x < \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

3

3 x < \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

3

\frac{3 x}{3} < \frac{\frac{π}{2}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

Simplify

\frac{3 x}{3} < \frac{\frac{π}{2}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

Simplify

\frac{3 x}{3} : x

\frac{3 x}{3}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{3}{3} = 1

= x

Simplify

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3} : \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{3} = \frac{π}{6}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{3}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{π}{2 \cdot 3}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 = 6

= \frac{π}{6}

= \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x < \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x < \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x < \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

Combine the intervals

x > - \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3} and x < \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

Merge Overlapping Intervals
