In Exercises 85–96, use a calculator to solve each equation, correct to four decimal places, on the interval [0, 2𝝅). cos² x - cos x - 1 = 0
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recognize that the equation is a quadratic in terms of \( \cos x \). Let \( y = \cos x \), so the equation becomes \( y^2 - y - 1 = 0 \).
Use the quadratic formula to solve for \( y \): \( y = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \), where \( a = 1 \), \( b = -1 \), and \( c = -1 \).
Calculate the discriminant \( \Delta = b^2 - 4ac = (-1)^2 - 4(1)(-1) = 1 + 4 = 5 \), then find the two roots \( y_1 \) and \( y_2 \).
Since \( y = \cos x \), check which roots are within the valid range for cosine values, i.e., between -1 and 1. Discard any root outside this range.
For each valid root \( y \), solve \( \cos x = y \) on the interval \( [0, 2\pi) \) using the inverse cosine function and symmetry properties of cosine, then use a calculator to find the approximate values of \( x \) correct to four decimal places.

How to Solve Linear Trigonometric Equations
Quadratic Form in Trigonometry
Some trigonometric equations can be rewritten as quadratic equations by substituting a trigonometric function (e.g., cos x) with a variable. This allows the use of algebraic methods like factoring or the quadratic formula to find solutions for the trigonometric function before solving for the angle.

Using a Calculator and Interval Restrictions
After finding the trigonometric function values, a calculator is used to determine the corresponding angles, ensuring answers are accurate to four decimal places. Solutions must be restricted to the given interval [0, 2π), meaning only angles within one full rotation are considered.
