What is the solution of $\\cos(x)=x$? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
2017年4月17日 · In this case, denote g(x) = cosx − x, see that its derivative is negative with countable many zeros, and therefore g is strictly decreasing, yielding that there is at most one solution to g(x) = 0. Since g(0)g(π / 2) <0 there is such a solution. Arbitrary precise approximations can be found using Newton, bisection, or false position method.

calculus - Limit of $\cos (x)/x$ as $x$ approaches $0
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...
How do you solve cos x = x? | Socratic
2018年2月20日 · Use Newton's method to find: x ~~ 0.73908513322 Looking at the graphs of y = x and y = cos x we see that there is exactly one real solution, actually somewhere in (1/2, 1): graph{(y-x)(y-cos x) = 0 [-5, 5, -2.5, 2.5]} Typically for such an equation with mixed polynomial and trigonometric terms, there is no algebraic solution. We can use Newton's method to get a sequence of increasingly better ...
How do you use the Squeeze Theorem to find lim (1-cos(x))/x as x ...
2015年9月24日 · The usual procedure is to use the squeeze theorem (and some geometry/trigonometry) to prove that lim x→0 sinx x = 1 Then use that result together with 1 − cosx x = sin2x x (1 +cosx) = sinx x sinx 1 + cosx along with continuity of sine and cosine at 0 to get lim x→0 sinx x sinx 1 +cosx = 1 ⋅ 0 2 = 0. So we can use the same geometric arguments to get the same bounds on sinx/x for small ...
How do you find the limit of (1-cosx) / x as x approaches 0

Proving Identities - Trigonometry | Socratic
The functions sine, cosine and tangent of an angle are sometimes referred to as the primary or basic trigonometric functions. The remaining trigonometric functions secant (sec), cosecant (csc), and cotangent (cot) are defined as the reciprocal functions of cosine, sine, and tangent, respectively. Trigonometric identities are equations involving the …
When cosx=1, what does x equal? | Socratic
2016年9月30日 · The function cos(x) has period 2π and cos(0) = 1 Hence: cos(2nπ) = 1 for any integer n graph {cos (x) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
What does cosx sinx equal? - Socratic
2016年3月7日 · So we have cos(x)sin(x) If we multiply it by two we have 2cos(x)sin(x) Which we can say it's a sum cos(x)sin(x) + sin(x)cos(x) Which is the double angle formula of the sine cos(x)sin(x) + sin(x)cos(x) = sin(2x) But since we multiplied by 2 early on to get to that, we need to divide by two to make the equality, so cos(x)sin(x) = sin(2x) 2
What is the integral of int (cosx)/ (x) dx? | Socratic
2016年5月22日 · This is one of those integrals that can't be done in terms of elementary functions. You can do it in terms of infinite series; and you can use various numerical methods to do the definite integral. The Taylor series expansion of cos(x) is cos(x) = 1 - (x^2)/2! + (x^4)/4! - (x^6)/6! + ... Dividing this by x gives us an infinite series expansion for cos(x)/x: cos(x)/x = 1/x - x/2! + (x^3)/4 ...
