Question
Question: For the equation \(\cos ^ { - 1 } x + \cos ^ { - 1 } 2 x + \pi = 0\), the number of real solution is...
For the equation cos−1x+cos−12x+π=0, the number of real solution is.
A
1
B
2
C
0
D
∞
Answer
0
Explanation
Solution
cos−12x=−π−cos−1x
⇒2x=cos(π+cos−1x)
⇒ 2x=cosπ(coscos−1x)−sinπsin(cos−1x)
2x=−x⇒x=0
But x=0 does not satisfy the given equation.
No solution will exist.
