3-cosh(x)=0

Solution

3 - cosh (x) = 0

Solution

x = ln (3 - 22), x = ln (3 + 22)

Degrees

x = - 100.99797 \dots^{\circ}, x = 100.99797 \dots^{\circ}

Solution steps

3 - cosh (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

3 - cosh (x) = 0

Use the Hyperbolic identity:

cosh (x) = \frac{e ^{x} + e ^{- x}}{2}

3 - \frac{e ^{x} + e ^{- x}}{2} = 0

3 - \frac{e ^{x} + e ^{- x}}{2} = 0

3 - \frac{e ^{x} + e ^{- x}}{2} = 0 : x = ln (3 - 22), x = ln (3 + 22)

3 - \frac{e ^{x} + e ^{- x}}{2} = 0

Multiply both sides by

2

3 \cdot 2 - \frac{e ^{x} + e ^{- x}}{2} \cdot 2 = 0 \cdot 2

Simplify

6 - (e^{x} + e^{- x}) = 0

Add

(e^{x} + e^{- x})

to both sides

6 - (e^{x} + e^{- x}) + e^{x} + e^{- x} = 0 + e^{x} + e^{- x}

Simplify

6 - (e^{x} + e^{- x}) + e^{x} + e^{- x} = e^{x} + e^{- x}

Apply exponent rules

6 - (e^{x} + e^{- x}) + e^{x} + e^{- x} = e^{x} + e^{- x}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b c} = (a^{b})^{c}

e^{- x} = (e^{x})^{- 1}

6 - (e^{x} + (e^{x})^{- 1}) + e^{x} + (e^{x})^{- 1} = e^{x} + (e^{x})^{- 1}

6 - (e^{x} + (e^{x})^{- 1}) + e^{x} + (e^{x})^{- 1} = e^{x} + (e^{x})^{- 1}

Rewrite the equation with

e^{x} = u

6 - (u + (u)^{- 1}) + u + (u)^{- 1} = u + (u)^{- 1}

Solve

6 - (u + u^{- 1}) + u + u^{- 1} = u + u^{- 1} : u = 3 - 22, u = 3 + 22

6 - (u + u^{- 1}) + u + u^{- 1} = u + u^{- 1}

Refine

6 - (u + \frac{1}{u}) + u + \frac{1}{u} = u + \frac{1}{u}

Subtract

u + \frac{1}{u}

from both sides

6 - (u + \frac{1}{u}) + u + \frac{1}{u} - (u + \frac{1}{u}) = u + \frac{1}{u} - (u + \frac{1}{u})

Simplify

6 - (u + \frac{1}{u}) = 0

Simplify

- (u + \frac{1}{u}) : - u - \frac{1}{u}

- (u + \frac{1}{u})

Distribute parentheses

= - (u) - (\frac{1}{u})

Apply minus-plus rules

+ (- a) = - a

= - u - \frac{1}{u}

6 - u - \frac{1}{u} = 0

Multiply both sides by

u

6 - u - \frac{1}{u} = 0

Multiply both sides by

u

6 u - uu - \frac{1}{u} u = 0 \cdot u

Simplify

6 u - uu - \frac{1}{u} u = 0 \cdot u

Simplify

- uu : - u^{2}

- uu

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

uu = u^{1 + 1}

= - u^{1 + 1}

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= - u^{2}

Simplify

- \frac{1}{u} u : - 1

- \frac{1}{u} u

Multiply fractions:

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

= - \frac{1 \cdot u}{u}

Cancel the common factor:

u

= - 1

Simplify

0 \cdot u : 0

0 \cdot u

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 0

6 u - u^{2} - 1 = 0

6 u - u^{2} - 1 = 0

6 u - u^{2} - 1 = 0

Solve

6 u - u^{2} - 1 = 0 : u = 3 - 22, u = 3 + 22

6 u - u^{2} - 1 = 0

Write in the standard form

a x^{2} + b x + c = 0

- u^{2} + 6 u - 1 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- u^{2} + 6 u - 1 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 1, b = 6, c = - 1

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 6 \pm 6 ^{2} - 4 ( - 1 ) ( - 1 )}{2 ( - 1 )}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 6 \pm 6 ^{2} - 4 ( - 1 ) ( - 1 )}{2 ( - 1 )}

6^{2} - 4 (- 1) (- 1) = 42

6^{2} - 4 (- 1) (- 1)

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= 6^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 1

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 = 4

= 6^{2} - 4

6^{2} = 36

= 36 - 4

Subtract the numbers:

36 - 4 = 32

= 32

is a prime number, therefore no further factorization is possible

= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2

= 2^{5}

= 2^{5}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b + c} = a^{b} \cdot a^{c}

= 2^{4} \cdot 2

Apply radical rule:

= 2 2^{4}

Apply radical rule:

2^{4} = 2^{\frac{4}{2}} = 2^{2}

= 2^{2} 2

Refine

u = \frac{- 6 + 4 2}{2 ( - 1 )} : 3 - 22

\frac{- 6 + 4 2}{2 ( - 1 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

= \frac{- 6 + 4 2}{- 2 \cdot 1}

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{- 6 + 4 2}{- 2}
