Apr 27, 2016 · An angle of −x − x can be viewed as a clockwise rotation whereas x x is anticlockwise. Now in a unit circle you can record the cos cos of an angle as the horizontal distance on the x x axis and so intuitively the right triangle formed by rotating clockwise will have the same horizontal distance as one rotated anticlockwise. Hope this helps.

Apr 17, 2017 · You are right, cos(x) = x is an equation in closed form, it is an elementary equation. But the questioner asks for a closed-form solution (a solution in closed form) of that equation.

Aug 19, 2018 · The sequence of $$ a_x = {\cos (x)\over x} $$ does converge to zero. As a result, intuitively $$ \sum_ {x=1}^\infty {\cos (x)\over x} $$ should also converge right?

Mar 13, 2016 · This sum approaches zero so that the indefinite integral is ln(x) up to an integration constant. Moreover, if the terminals of integration are say a and b (not zero or infinity), the definite integral would be ln(a) − ln(b). Where the terminals include zero or infinity, the Trigonometric Integral Ci(x) or Cin(x) need to be used.

Write cos(x) cos (x) in terms of sin(x) sin (x) if the terminal point x x is in quadrant IV. I know cos2(x) cos 2 (x) = 1 −sin2(x) = 1 − sin 2 (x). And I know that cos is positive in quadrant IV. I am guessing that the answer is 1 −sin2(x)− −−−−−−−−√ 1 − sin 2 (x) Can anyone help verify this answer? Thank you!!

As the title says, I want to show that the limit of $$\\lim_{x\\to 0} \\frac{\\cos(x)}{x}$$ doesn't exist. Now for that I'd like to show in a formally correct way that $$\\lim_{x\\to 0^+} \\frac{\\cos...

Mar 29, 2012 · Multiple Angle Identities: How to expand cos nx with cos x, such as

I want to look past the immediate question. I'm concerned about why you thought that cos(x + y) = cos(x) + cos(y) cos ⁡ (x + y) = cos ⁡ (x) + cos ⁡ (y). You made a serious mistake and it wasn't about trigonometry: you assumed that cos cos has a property ("distributivity over addition") and you didn't check. Most functions don't have "nice" properties. You should never assume anything ...

Mar 11, 2017 · Let z=cos (x)+isin (x) When you 8derive it (in terms of x), z'=-sin (x)+icos (x) And since we are in the complex world, -1=i×i =>z'=i×isin (x)+icos (x)=i (cos (x)+isin (x))=iz This pretty much makes it a first order differential equation.

How do you integrate $$\\int \\frac{1}{a + \\cos x} dx$$ Is it solvable by elementary methods? I was trying to do it while incorrectly solving a homework problem. But, I couldn't find the answer. Thanks!
