Question
Find x , if `cos(2x - 6) = cos^2 30^circ - cos^2 60^circ`
Advertisements
Solution
`cos(2x - 6) = cos^2 30^circ - cos^2 60^circ`
⇒ `cos(2x - 6) = cos^2 (90^circ - 60^circ) - cos^2 60^circ`
⇒ `cos(2x - 6) = sin^2 60^circ - cos^2 60^circ`
⇒ `cos(2x - 6) = 1 - 2cos^2 60^circ = 1 - 2(1/2)^2 = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2`
⇒ `cos(2x - 6) = 1/2`
⇒ `cos(2x - 6) = cos60^circ`
⇒ `(2x - 6) = 60^circ`
⇒ `2x = 66^circ`
⇒ `x = 33^circ`
