Solve cos x + √2 = -cos x for x over the interval [0, 2Π)

Step-by-step explanation:

Trigonometric Equations

It's required to solve:

for

Adding cos x:

Subtracting

Dividing by 2:

Solving for x:

We need to find the angles whose cosine is over the given interval.

These angles lie on the quadrants III and IV respectively and they are:

x=135°, x=225°

Converting to radians:

135 * π / 180 = 3π/4

225 * π / 180 = 5π/4

The two solutions are:

answer: ok

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
