Example.
Solve the equations:
cos (4x) = √2 / 2.
And find
all the roots on the interval [0; Π].
Decision: Let us solve our equation in general form: 4x = ± arccos (√2 / 2) + 2πk 4x = ± π / 4 + 2πk;
X = ± π / 16 + πk / 2;
Now let's see what roots get into our segment.
When k <0, the solution is also less than zero, we do not fall into our segment.
For k = 0, x = π / 16, we are in the given interval [0; Π].
For k = 1, x = π / 16 + π / 2 = 9π / 16, again we have got.
For k = 2, x = π / 16 + π = 17π / 16, and here we are no longer there, and therefore for large k we also will not fall.
The answer is: x = π / 16, x = 9π / 16
