The formula for solving cosines is special cases. Trigonometric equations. Factorization

The simplest trigonometric equations are usually solved by formulas. Let me remind you that the following trigonometric equations are called the simplest:

sinx = a

cosx = a

tgx = a

ctgx = a

x is the angle to be found,
a is any number.

And here are the formulas with which you can immediately write down the solutions of these simplest equations.

For sinus:


For cosine:

x = ± arccos a + 2π n, n ∈ Z


For tangent:

x = arctg a + π n, n ∈ Z


For cotangent:

x = arcctg a + π n, n ∈ Z

Actually, this is theoretical part solutions of the simplest trigonometric equations. And, the whole!) Nothing at all. However, the number of errors on this topic just rolls over. Especially, with a slight deviation of the example from the template. Why?

Yes, because a lot of people write down these letters, without understanding their meaning at all! With apprehension he writes down, no matter how something happens ...) This needs to be sorted out. Trigonometry for people, or people for trigonometry, after all!?)

Let's figure it out?

One angle will be equal to arccos a, second: -arccos a.

And that's how it will always work. For any a.

If you don't believe me, hover your mouse over the picture, or touch the picture on your tablet.) I changed the number a to some negative. Anyway, we got one corner arccos a, second: -arccos a.

Therefore, the answer can always be written as two series of roots:

x 1 = arccos a + 2π n, n ∈ Z

x 2 = - arccos a + 2π n, n ∈ Z

We combine these two series into one:

x= ± arccos a + 2π n, n ∈ Z

And all things. We have obtained a general formula for solving the simplest trigonometric equation with cosine.

If you understand that this is not some kind of super-scientific wisdom, but just an abbreviated record of two series of answers, you and tasks "C" will be on the shoulder. With inequalities, with the selection of roots from a given interval ... There, the answer with plus / minus does not roll. And if you treat the answer businesslike, and break it into two separate answers, everything is decided.) Actually, for this we understand. What, how and where.

In the simplest trigonometric equation

sinx = a

also get two series of roots. Always. And these two series can also be recorded one line. Only this line will be smarter:

x = (-1) n arcsin a + π n, n ∈ Z

But the essence remains the same. Mathematicians simply constructed a formula to make one instead of two records of series of roots. And that's it!

Let's check the mathematicians? And that's not enough...)

In the previous lesson, the solution (without any formulas) of the trigonometric equation with a sine was analyzed in detail:

The answer turned out to be two series of roots:

x 1 = π /6 + 2π n, n ∈ Z

x 2 = 5π /6 + 2π n, n ∈ Z

If we solve the same equation using the formula, we get the answer:

x = (-1) n arcsin 0.5 + π n, n ∈ Z

Actually, this is a half-finished answer.) The student must know that arcsin 0.5 = π /6. The full answer would be:

x = (-1) n π /6+ πn, n ∈ Z

Here an interesting question arises. Reply via x 1; x 2 (this is the correct answer!) and through the lonely X (and this is the correct answer!) - the same thing, or not? Let's find out now.)

Substitute in response with x 1 values n =0; one; 2; etc., we consider, we get a series of roots:

x 1 \u003d π / 6; 13π/6; 25π/6 etc.

With the same substitution in response to x 2 , we get:

x 2 \u003d 5π / 6; 17π/6; 29π/6 etc.

And now we substitute the values n (0; 1; 2; 3; 4...) into the general formula for the lonely X . That is, we raise minus one to the zero power, then to the first, second, and so on. And, of course, we substitute 0 into the second term; one; 2 3; 4 etc. And we think. We get a series:

x = π/6; 5π/6; 13π/6; 17π/6; 25π/6 etc.

That's all you can see.) The general formula gives us exactly the same results which are the two answers separately. All at once, in order. Mathematicians did not deceive.)

Formulas for solving trigonometric equations with tangent and cotangent can also be checked. But let's not.) They are so unpretentious.

I painted all this substitution and verification on purpose. Here it is important to understand one simple thing: there are formulas for solving elementary trigonometric equations, just a summary of the answers. For this brevity, I had to insert plus/minus into the cosine solution and (-1) n into the sine solution.

These inserts do not interfere in any way in tasks where you just need to write down the answer to an elementary equation. But if you need to solve an inequality, or then you need to do something with the answer: select roots on an interval, check for ODZ, etc., these inserts can easily unsettle a person.

And what to do? Yes, either paint the answer in two series, or solve the equation / inequality in a trigonometric circle. Then these inserts disappear and life becomes easier.)

You can sum up.

To solve the simplest trigonometric equations, there are ready-made answer formulas. Four pieces. They are good for instantly writing the solution to an equation. For example, you need to solve the equations:


sinx = 0.3

Easily: x = (-1) n arcsin 0.3 + π n, n ∈ Z


cosx = 0.2

No problem: x = ± arccos 0.2 + 2π n, n ∈ Z


tgx = 1.2

Easily: x = arctg 1,2 + πn, n ∈ Z


ctgx = 3.7

One left: x= arcctg3,7 + πn, n ∈ Z

cos x = 1.8

If you, shining with knowledge, instantly write the answer:

x= ± arccos 1.8 + 2π n, n ∈ Z

then you already shine, this ... that ... from a puddle.) The correct answer is: there are no solutions. Don't understand why? Read what an arccosine is. In addition, if on the right side of the original equation there are tabular values ​​\u200b\u200bof sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, - 1; 0; √3; 1/2; √3/2 etc. - the answer through the arches will be unfinished. Arches must be converted to radians.

And if you already come across an inequality, like

then the answer is:

x πn, n ∈ Z

there is a rare nonsense, yes ...) Here it is necessary to trigonometric circle decide. What we will do in the corresponding topic.

For those who heroically read up to these lines. I just can't help but appreciate your titanic efforts. you a bonus.)

Bonus:

When writing formulas in an anxious combat situation, even hardened nerds often get confused where pn, And where 2πn. Here's a simple trick for you. In all formulas pn. Except for the only formula with arc cosine. It stands there 2πn. Two pien. Keyword - two. In the same single formula are two sign at the beginning. Plus and minus. Here and there - two.

So if you wrote two sign in front of the arc cosine, it is easier to remember what will happen at the end two pien. And vice versa happens. Skip the man sign ± , get to the end, write correctly two pien, yes, and catch it. Ahead of something two sign! The person will return to the beginning, but he will correct the mistake! Like this.)

By the way, I have a couple more interesting sites for you.)

You can practice solving examples and find out your level. Testing with instant verification. Learning - with interest!)

you can get acquainted with functions and derivatives.

The simplest trigonometric equations are the equations

Cos(x)=a, sin(x)=a, tg(x)=a, ctg(x)=a

Equation cos(x) = a

Explanation and rationale

  1. The roots of the equation cosx = a. When | a | > 1 the equation has no roots because | cosx |< 1 для любого x (прямая y = а при а >1 or at a< -1 не пересекает график функцииy = cosx).

Let | a |< 1. Тогда прямая у = а пересекает график функции

y = cos x. On the interval, the function y = cos x decreases from 1 to -1. But a decreasing function takes each of its values ​​only at one point in its domain, so cos equation x \u003d a has only one root on this interval, which, by definition of the arc cosine, is: x 1 \u003d arccos a (and for this root cos x \u003d a).

Cosine - even function, so on the interval [-n; 0] the equation cos x = and also has only one root - the number opposite to x 1, that is

x 2 = -arccos a.

Thus, on the interval [-n; n] (length 2n) the equation cos x = a for | a |< 1 имеет только корни x = ±arccos а.

The function y = cos x is periodic with a period of 2n, so all other roots differ from those found by 2np (n € Z). We get the following formula for the roots of the equation cos x = a when

x = ± arccos a + 2n, n £ Z.

  1. Particular cases of solving the equation cosx = a.

It is useful to remember the special notation for the roots of the equation cos x = a when

a \u003d 0, a \u003d -1, a \u003d 1, which can be easily obtained using the unit circle as a guide.

Since the cosine is equal to the abscissa of the corresponding point unit circle, we obtain that cos x = 0 if and only if the corresponding point of the unit circle is point A or point B.

Similarly, cos x = 1 if and only if the corresponding point of the unit circle is the point C, therefore,

x = 2πp, k € Z.

Also cos x \u003d -1 if and only if the corresponding point of the unit circle is the point D, thus x \u003d n + 2n,

Equation sin(x) = a

Explanation and rationale

  1. Roots sinx equations= a. When | a | > 1 the equation has no roots because | sinx |< 1 для любого x (прямая y = а на рисунке при а >1 or at a< -1 не пересекает график функции y = sinx).
