solvefor θ,cos(θ)+cos(90-θ)=0

Solution

solve for

θ, cos (θ) + cos (9 0^{\circ} - θ) = 0

Solution

θ = 13 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 31 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Radians

θ = \frac{3 π}{4} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{7 π}{4} + 2 πn

Solution steps

cos (θ) + cos (9 0^{\circ} - θ) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

cos (θ) + cos (9 0^{\circ} - θ)

Use the Sum to Product identity:

cos (s) + cos (t) = 2 cos (\frac{s + t}{2}) cos (\frac{s - t}{2})

= 2 cos (\frac{θ + 9 0 ^{\circ} - θ}{2}) cos (\frac{θ - ( 9 0 ^{\circ} - θ )}{2})

Simplify

2 cos (\frac{θ + 9 0 ^{\circ} - θ}{2}) cos (\frac{θ - ( 9 0 ^{\circ} - θ )}{2}) : 2 cos (\frac{4 θ - 18 0 ^{\circ}}{4})

2 cos (\frac{θ + 9 0 ^{\circ} - θ}{2}) cos (\frac{θ - ( 9 0 ^{\circ} - θ )}{2})

\frac{θ + 9 0 ^{\circ} - θ}{2} = 4 5^{\circ}

\frac{θ + 9 0 ^{\circ} - θ}{2}

θ + 9 0^{\circ} - θ = 9 0^{\circ}

θ + 9 0^{\circ} - θ

Group like terms

= θ - θ + 9 0^{\circ}

Add similar elements:

θ - θ = 0

= 9 0^{\circ}

= \frac{9 0 ^{\circ}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{18 0 ^{\circ}}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= 4 5^{\circ}

= 2 cos (4 5^{\circ}) cos (\frac{θ - ( - θ + 9 0 ^{\circ} )}{2})

\frac{θ - ( 9 0 ^{\circ} - θ )}{2} = \frac{4 θ - 18 0 ^{\circ}}{4}

\frac{θ - ( 9 0 ^{\circ} - θ )}{2}

Expand

θ - (9 0^{\circ} - θ) : 2 θ - 9 0^{\circ}

θ - (9 0^{\circ} - θ)

- (9 0^{\circ} - θ) : - 9 0^{\circ} + θ

- (9 0^{\circ} - θ)

Distribute parentheses

= - (9 0^{\circ}) - (- θ)

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a, - (a) = - a

= - 9 0^{\circ} + θ

= θ - 9 0^{\circ} + θ

Simplify

θ - 9 0^{\circ} + θ : 2 θ - 9 0^{\circ}

θ - 9 0^{\circ} + θ

Group like terms

= θ + θ - 9 0^{\circ}

Add similar elements:

θ + θ = 2 θ

= 2 θ - 9 0^{\circ}

= 2 θ - 9 0^{\circ}

= \frac{2 θ - 9 0 ^{\circ}}{2}

Join

2 θ - 9 0^{\circ} : \frac{4 θ - 18 0 ^{\circ}}{2}

2 θ - 9 0^{\circ}

Convert element to fraction:

2 θ = \frac{2 θ 2}{2}

= \frac{2 θ \cdot 2}{2} - 9 0^{\circ}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{2 θ \cdot 2 - 18 0 ^{\circ}}{2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{4 θ - 18 0 ^{\circ}}{2}

= \frac{\frac{4 θ - 18 0 ^{\circ}}{2}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{4 θ - 18 0 ^{\circ}}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{4 θ - 18 0 ^{\circ}}{4}

= 2 cos (4 5^{\circ}) cos (\frac{4 θ - 18 0 ^{\circ}}{4})

Simplify

cos (4 5^{\circ}) : \frac{2}{2}
