Solve for x over the real numbers:
cos(x) cosh(x) = 0

Split into two equations:
cos(x) = 0 or cosh(x) = 0

Take the inverse cosine of both sides:
x = π/2 + π n for n element Z
 or cosh(x) = 0

cosh(x) = 0 has no solution since for all x element R, cosh(x)>=1 and True:
Answer: | x = π/2 + π n for n element Z

Hi Guest, your solution for coshx * cosx = 0 is not correct.

There are only four results, not infinitely many.

Greeting! asinus

 

Oh sorry, I've seen this wrong.

Your solution for coshx * cosx = 0 is correct.
 

I am sorry! asinus

coshx*cosx=0  x=?

 

cos x=0x=π2+πnn

 

cosh x=12(ex+ex)>0for x    no solution

 

solution:

 

coshxcosx=0x1=π2x2=π2+πx3=π2x4=(π2+π)

 

x=π2+πn     Thank you! C.

for n

 

laugh  !

Actually, the guest is correct....this graph is symmetric around the y axis  and will = 0 at

pi/2 + n*pi      radians......where n is an integer.......

 

See the graph below :
