how do i solve for x in the equation: 2 cos x + sin 2x = 0 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wtf

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin2x=2sinxcosx 2cosx+2sinxcosx=0 2cosx(1+sinx)=0 sinx=-1 cosx=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how does 2sinxcosx=1+sinx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2sinxcosx=sin(2x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so rewrite your equation to this: 2cosx+2sinxcosx=0 Now you factor out 2cosx from each term and are left with: 2cosx(1+sinx)=0

oh oh oh gotcha sorry
