The general solution of cosxcos6x=-1 is ...

The general solution of `cosxcos6x=-1` is `x=(2n+1)pi,n in Z` `x=2npi,n in Z` `x=npi,n in Z` (d) none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`cosxcos6x = -1`
`=>cos6x = -1/cosx`
`=>cos6x = -secx`
Now, we know, `cos x in [-1,1]` and `sec x in [-oo,-1] uu [1,oo]`
So, only two below cases are possible for the given solution.
Case 1: When `cosx = -1 and cos6x = 1`
`=>x = (2n+1)pi`
