Best Answer

To solve this equation, you must first put the equation in terms of cosx.

3cosx=2

cosx = 2/3

Next, you find the reference angle (α) by finding the cos inverse of 2/3.

α=cos-1(2/3) = 48.19 Degrees (approximately)

find the distance from from 48.19 and 90 you then add the difference to 270 giving you the two answers which are ... 48.19 and 311.81 (approximately)

What is formula for cos3x?

looks like the exponents did not show up, in the first it should be 4 cosine cubed x - 3cosx and the sin 3x should be 3sinx - 4sine cubed x


How does one evaluate cosx plus 1 2cos2x-3cos2-3cosx-2 equals 0 looking for a walk through more than an answer... need to understand how this works to repeat the process on other problems?

The way you have written this makes it impossible to evaluate. what math operation is involved after cosx plus 1? is that added, subtracted, multiplied or divided by 2 cos2x-3cos2 etc.


What is the derivative of 3cosx?

Use the rule for multiplication with a constant - and look up the derivative of "cos x" in a basic table of derivatives. The answer is 3 times the derivative of cos x.


How do you express sin 3x as a polynom with sin x using the De Moivre formula?

According to de Moivre's formula, cos3x + isin3x = (cosx + isinx)3 = cos3x + 3cos2x*isinx + 3cosx*i2sin2x + i3sin3x Comparing the imaginary parts, isin3x = 3cos2x*isinx + i3sin3x so that sin3x = 3cos2x*sinx - sin3x = 3*(1-sin2x)sinx - sin3x = 3sinx - 4sin3x

What is the integral of cos cubed x?

cos^3(x) = cos^2(x) cos(x)= (1-sin^2(x))·cos(x)=cos(x) - sin^2(x)·cos(x)Integrating, the integral of cos(x) is sin(x) -----(1)To integrate sin^2(x) cos(x)·dx, let sin(x) =ucos(x)·dx = duThe integral becomes integral (u^2)·du = u^3/3 = (sin^3(x))/3 --(2)(1)-(2) gives the answer to your questionsin(x) - (sin3(x))/3 +C*Edit*When we are solving the integral of cos(x) - sin^2(x)·cos(x),& the two terms are split up, do not forget to take our signs into account, in this case;the positive or negative constants/coefficients within what we are taking the integral of.So here, ∫(cos(x) - sin^2(x)·cos(x))is split up into ∫cos(x) minus ∫sin^2(x)·cos(x)the 2nd integrand (function which is being integrated)-sin^2(x)·cos(x)is the same as(-1)·sin^2(x)·cos(x)So when taking the integral of this integrand, pull -1, a constant, out & place it in front of the integral symbol , ∫.So once we substitute u for sin(x) & integrate our integrand (original function) which we have now put into terms of u & du, and get (u^3)/3, as the integral of sin^2(x)·cos(x)) [again, (u^3)/3 is in terms of du, when u=sin(x)] we simply cannot ignore the fact that we are subtracting that integral from that of cos(x), no matter how easy it seems to just ignore our negatives.W.e are subtracting ∫(u^2)·du from whatever the ∫cos(x) is equal to, not adding them.sin(X) MINUS (sin^3(x))/3 + Cshould be the correct answer.ANOTHER WAY CAN BE SUBSTITUTING THE VALUE OF COS^3X FROM COS3X i.eINTEGRATE COS^3X....................................14COS^3X- 3COSX4COS^3X- 3COSX= COS3XCOS^3X=(COS3X+3COX)/3SUBSTITUTING THE VALUE OF COS^3X IN EQUATION 1INTEGRAL (COS3X+3COSX)/3AS 1/3 IS CONSTANT IT CAME OUT OF INTEGRALINTEGRAL OF COS3X=SINX/3INTEGRAL OF 3COSX= 3SINX..........................................................


Integral of (sin2x)(cos3x)?

Int[sin(2x)*cos(3x)]dx = Int[(2sinx*cosx)*(4cos^3x - 3cosx)]dx= Int[(8sinx*cos^4x - 6sinx*cos^2x)]dx Let cosx = u then du/dx = -sinx So, the integral is Int[-8*u^4 + 6*u^2]du = -8/5*u^5 + 2u^3 + c where c is a constant of integration = -8/5*cos^5x + 2cos^3x + c


What is the integral of sin x cubed?

= cos(x)-(cos3(x))/3 * * * * * Right numbers, wrong sign! Int(sin3x)dx = Int(sin2x*sinx)dx = Int[(1-cos2x)*sinx]dx = Int(sinx)dx + Int[-cos2x*sinx]dx Int(sinx)dx = -cosx . . . . . (I) Int[-cos2x*sinx]dx Let u = cosx, the du = -sinxdx so Int(u2)du = u3/3 = 1/3*cos3x . . . . (II) So Int(sin3x)dx = 1/3*cos3x - cosx + C Alternatively, using the multiple angle identities, you can show that sin3x = 1/4*[3sinx - sin3x] which gives Int(sin3x)dx = 1/4*{1/3*cos(3x) - 3cosx} + C


What is sin 3x in terms of sin x?

given the identity sin(x+y)=sinx cosy + siny cosxsin2x = 2 sinx cosx andsin(2(x)+x) = sin 2x cos x + sinx cos 2xusing the last two identities givessin3x= 2 sinx cosx cosx + sinx cos2xfactoring the sinx we havesin3x = sinx(2cosx cosx+cos2x)which satisfies the requirement.However, we can simplify further since cos 2x = cosx cosx - sinx sinx (a well known identity)sin3x = sinx (2cosx cosx +cosx cosx - sinx sinx)so sin3x= sinx(3cosx cosx - sinx sinx)or sin 3x = 3.cos²x.sinx - sin³x* * * * *Good, but not good enough. The answer was required in terms of sin, not a mixture of sinx and cosx. Easily recitified, though, since cos²x = 1 - sin²xTherefore sin3x = 3*(1-sin²x)*sinx - sin³x= 3sinx - 3sin³x - sin³x= 3sinx - 4sin³x


Is burnt wood a chemical change?

it is a chemical changeYes. Wood is composed of a number of complex chemical compounds, and cellulose is a principle one. Much of the material in wood is reduced to carbon dioxide and water, but there are a considerable number of combustion byproducts and also many products of incomplete combustion. But through burning, wood undergoes a chemical change to become ash and all the stuff that is carried away in the smoke stream. Heat, of course, is a byproduct. when the ashes are formed they can not be formed into a log or peice of woodYes, burning wood is a chemical change. - A.GibbsYes; the fire (combustion) is using oxygen in the air to release heat energy and carbon atoms in the wood. Wood is mostly made up of a gas called cellulose and the burning allows oxygen molecules to mix with the cellulose. This exerts various gases and the heating will obviously convert the wood to ash and scoot.its chemical changeYes, wood undergoes a chemical change when it is burned. For the most part it is a redox reaction.Yes
