Показать описание
The trigonometric equation to be solved is 5cosx+1=3cosx. As this is a linear equation in cosx, all the cosx terms are collected on one side of the equation and all the constants on the other side. This results in cosx=-1/2. To find values in the interval [0, 2pi), the unit circle is used. All solutions include the coterminal angles for the solutions found on the unit circle so 2pi*n, where n is an element of the integers, is added to each of these solutions.
