cos2θ+cos4θ=0.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution set for the equationcos2θ+cos4θ=0is,π6,π2,5π6,7π6,3π2,11π6.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1 Given equation is,

cos2θ+cos4θ=0.

The double angle formula for cos2θis cos2θ=2cos2θ-1.

Substitute the known values in the given equation.

cos2θ+2cos2(2θ)-1=0(2cos2θ-1)+2cos2(2θ)-1=0(2cos2θ-1)+2(2cos2θ-1)2-1=0(2cos2θ-1)+(24cos4θ-4cos2θ+1-1)=0(2cos2θ-1)+8cos4θ-8cos2θ+1=08cos4θ-6cos2θ=02cos2θ4cos2θ-3=0

02

Step 2 Apply the zero product property.

2cos2θ=0or4cos2θ-3=0cos2θ=0or4cos2θ=3cosθ=0orcos2θ=34cosθ=±34cosθ=±32

Solving each equation in the interval [0,2Ï€)is,

θ=π2θ=3π2θ=π6θ=11π6θ=5π6θ=7π6

Therefore, the solution set is,Ï€2,Ï€6,5Ï€6,7Ï€6,3Ï€2,11Ï€6.
