Solution

cos(2x​)+21​>0

Solution

−34π​+4πn<x<34π​+4πn
+2
Interval Notation
(−34π​+4πn,34π​+4πn)
Decimal
−4.18879…+4πn<x<4.18879…+4πn
Solution steps
cos(2x​)+21​>0
Move 21​to the right side
cos(2x​)+21​>0
Subtract 21​ from both sidescos(2x​)+21​−21​>0−21​
Simplifycos(2x​)>−21​
cos(2x​)>−21​
For cos(x)>a, if −1≤a<1 then −arccos(a)+2πn<x<arccos(a)+2πn−arccos(−21​)+2πn<2x​<arccos(−21​)+2πn
If a<u<bthen a<uandu<b−arccos(−21​)+2πn<2x​and2x​<arccos(−21​)+2πn
