Solution steps
cos(x−45∘)<21​,0∘≤x≤360∘
For cos(x)<a, if −1<a≤1 then arccos(a)+2πn<x<2π−arccos(a)+2πnarccos(21​)+2πn<(x−45∘)<2π−arccos(21​)+2πn
If a<u<bthen a<uandu<barccos(21​)+2πn<x−45∘andx−45∘<2π−arccos(21​)+2πn
arccos(21​)+2πn<x−45∘:x>3π+3⋅45∘​+2πn
arccos(21​)+2πn<x−45∘
Switch sidesx−45∘>arccos(21​)+2πn
Simplify arccos(21​)+2πn:3π​+2πn
arccos(21​)+2πn
Use the following trivial identity:arccos(21​)=3π​x−1−23​​−22​​−21​021​22​​23​​1​arccos(x)π65π​43π​32π​2π​3π​4π​6π​0​arccos(x)180∘150∘135∘120∘90∘60∘45∘30∘0∘​​=3π​+2πn
x−45∘>3π​+2πn
Move 45∘to the right side
x−45∘>3π​+2πn
Add 45∘ to both sidesx−45∘+45∘>3π​+2πn+45∘
Simplifyx>3π​+2πn+45∘
x>3π​+2πn+45∘
Simplify 3π​+45∘:3π+3⋅45∘​
3π​+45∘
Convert element to fraction: 45∘=345∘⋅3​=3π​+345∘⋅3​
Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions: ca​±cb​=ca±b​=3π+45∘⋅3​
x>3π+3⋅45∘​+2πn
x−45∘<2π−arccos(21​)+2πn:x<35π+3⋅45∘​+2πn
x−45∘<2π−arccos(21​)+2πn
Simplify 2π−arccos(21​)+2πn:2π−3π​+2πn
2π−arccos(21​)+2πn
Use the following trivial identity:arccos(21​)=3π​x−1−23​​−22​​−21​021​22​​23​​1​arccos(x)π65π​43π​32π​2π​3π​4π​6π​0​arccos(x)180∘150∘135∘120∘90∘60∘45∘30∘0∘​​=2π−3π​+2πn

Add 45∘ to both sidesx−45∘+45∘<2π−3π​+2πn+45∘
Simplifyx<2π−3π​+2πn+45∘
x<2π−3π​+2πn+45∘
Simplify 2π−3π​+45∘:35π+3⋅45∘​
2π−3π​+45∘
Convert element to fraction: 2π=32π3​,45∘=345∘⋅3​=32π3​−3π​+345∘⋅3​
Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions: ca​±cb​=ca±b​=32π3−π+45∘⋅3​
