Find all solutions to the equation cos(3z+pi) = 0
cos (3z + pi) = 0 using a trig identity, we have :
cos(3z)cos(pi) - sin(pi)sin(3z) = 0
-cos(3z) = 0
cos(3z) = 0
cos(z) = 0 at pi/2 + n*pi
So
3z = pi/2 + n*pi divide both sides by 3
z = pi/6 + n* (pi/3) where n is any integer
Solve for z: -cos(3 z) = 0 Multiply both sides by -1: cos(3 z) = 0 Take the inverse cosine of both sides: 3 z = pi/2+pi n for n element Z Divide both sides by 3: Answer: | z = pi/6+(pi n)/3 for n element Z
