Find the number of solutions to cos x = ...

Find the number of solutions to `cos x = (x)/(10), x gt 0.`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

To get the number of solutions, draw the graphs of y = cos x and `y = (x)/(10)`.
`y = (x)/(10)` passes through the origin and (10, 1).

As shown is the figure, there are three points of intersection, hence three roots.
