How do you solve for x in 2cos(3x1)=0?

1 Answer

If 2cos(3x1)=0 then so is cos(3x1)

If a cosθ=0 then θ=900 plus any multiple of 1800
(the cosine function crosses the x-axis twice every period)

So we have
3x1=900+k1800

3x=910+k1800

x=9103+k18003

Answer:
x=(3013)0+k600

Extra:
If you work in radians (you didn't say), then solving would go along the same lines, only then you would work with

3x1=π2+k.π
