Capitolo 3, Problema 87
In Exercises 85–96, use a calculator to solve each equation, correct to four decimal places, on the interval [0, 2𝝅). cos x = ﹣ 2/5
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Rewrite the equation clearly: \(\cos^2 x = -\frac{2}{5}\). This means the square of cosine of \(x\) equals a negative number.
Recall that \(\cos^2 x\) represents the square of the cosine function, which is always greater than or equal to zero for all real \(x\) because squaring any real number cannot produce a negative result.
Since \(\cos^2 x\) cannot be negative, analyze the equation \(\cos^2 x = -\frac{2}{5}\) and recognize that it has no real solutions because the right side is negative.
Conclude that there are no values of \(x\) in the interval \([0, 2\pi)\) that satisfy the equation \(\cos^2 x = -\frac{2}{5}\).
Therefore, the solution set is empty; no solutions exist for this equation within the given interval.

Using the Inverse Cosine Function
The inverse cosine function, denoted as cos⁻¹ or arccos, is used to find the angle whose cosine value is known. Since cosine is positive in the first and fourth quadrants, solutions must be considered accordingly within the interval [0, 2π).
