cos(x)<= 0,-pi<= x<= pi

Solution

cos (x) \leq 0, - π \leq x \leq π

- π \leq x \leq \frac{3 π}{2} - 2 π or \frac{π}{2} \leq x \leq π

Interval Notation

[- π, \frac{3 π}{2} - 2 π] \cup [\frac{π}{2}, π]

Decimal

- 3.14159 \dots \leq x \leq - 1.57079 \dots or 1.57079 \dots \leq x \leq 3.14159 \dots

Solution steps

cos (x) \leq 0, - π \leq x \leq π

For

cos (x) \leq a

, if

- 1 < a < 1

then

arccos (a) + 2 πn \leq x \leq 2 π - arccos (a) + 2 πn

arccos (0) + 2 πn \leq x \leq 2 π - arccos (0) + 2 πn

Simplify

arccos (0) : \frac{π}{2}

arccos (0)

Use the following trivial identity:

arccos (0) = \frac{π}{2}

x - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2} 1 arccos (x) π \frac{5 π}{6} \frac{3 π}{4} \frac{2 π}{3} \frac{π}{2} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{6} 0 arccos (x) 18 0^{\circ} 15 0^{\circ} 13 5^{\circ} 12 0^{\circ} 9 0^{\circ} 6 0^{\circ} 4 5^{\circ} 3 0^{\circ} 0^{\circ}

= \frac{π}{2}

Simplify

2 π - arccos (0) : \frac{3 π}{2}

2 π - arccos (0)

Use the following trivial identity:

arccos (0) = \frac{π}{2}

x - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2} 1 arccos (x) π \frac{5 π}{6} \frac{3 π}{4} \frac{2 π}{3} \frac{π}{2} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{6} 0 arccos (x) 18 0^{\circ} 15 0^{\circ} 13 5^{\circ} 12 0^{\circ} 9 0^{\circ} 6 0^{\circ} 4 5^{\circ} 3 0^{\circ} 0^{\circ}

= 2 π - \frac{π}{2}

Simplify

2 π - \frac{π}{2}

Convert element to fraction:

2 π = \frac{2 π 2}{2}

= \frac{2 π 2}{2} - \frac{π}{2}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{2 π 2 - π}{2}

2 π 2 - π = 3 π

2 π 2 - π

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= 4 π - π

Add similar elements:

4 π - π = 3 π

= 3 π

= \frac{3 π}{2}

= \frac{3 π}{2}

\frac{π}{2} + 2 πn \leq x \leq \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Combine the intervals

\frac{π}{2} + 2 πn \leq x \leq \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn and - π \leq x \leq π

- π \leq x \leq \frac{3 π}{2} - 2 π or \frac{π}{2} \leq x \leq π
