Step 1: Isolate the cosine term.
We are given the equation:
3cos(2x)+9=−13
Subtract 9 from both sides:
3cos(2x)=−13−9
3cos(2x)=−22
Divide by 3:
cos(2x)=−322
Step 2: Evaluate the value of cos(2x).
The value −322 is approximately −7.33.
Step 3: Check the range of the cosine function.
The range of the cosine function is [−1,1]. This means that for any real angle θ, −1≤cos(θ)≤1.
Step 4: Determine if a solution exists.
Since −322 is less than −1, it falls outside the possible range of values for cos(2x). Therefore, there is no real angle 2x for which cos(2x)=−322.
Conclusion:
There are no solutions for x in the given range 0∘≤x<360∘.
