Problem 1: x2+x+12=0 2

Problem 3: 3 cosx +2 sin X=0


Solution: Solution:
X2+X-12 = 0
(x+4) (x-3) = 0 (Equate the factors to Using the identity sin2X = 1 – cos2X,
zero)
First factor 3 cosX +2 ( 1−cos2 X )=0
X+4=0 3 cosX +2−2cos 2 X=0
X=- 4
−2 cos 2 X + 3 cosX−2=0
Second factor
X-3=0 Factor:
X=3
Checking: (−2cos ( X )−1 ) ( cos X−2 ) =0
-4(2) + (-4) -12=0 Equate the factors to zero First
16-16=0 factor:
0=0 ✓

0=0 ✓
For the second solution subtract x to 2 π
Answer: x= -4, x=3
2π 6 π−2 π
X =2 π− X=
Problem 2: 22 x−4 =64 3 3
Solution: 4π
X=

2 x−4
2 =64
Second factor:
( 2 x −4 ) ln 2=ln 64
c os X =2
ln 64
2 x −4= cos−1 ( cosX )=cos−1 ( 2 )
ln 2
ln64 X =cos−1 (2) Cosine is
2x= +4 -1y<=1, therefore there is no solution
ln 2
for this factor

+4 The period of cosine function repeats
ln 2
x= every 2 π therefore,
