Find the 3 smallest positive x-intercepts of the graph of

y = cos(12x) + cos(16x) + cos(20x)

and list them in increasing order.

Do you know what y=cos(x) looks like?

Graph it on desmos if you do not know..     

What is its period?

Where does it first cross the x axis?

Try drawing cos(12x)   how does it compare?

Try drawing them, discuss it here, if you have specific questions then ask with a new post on this thread.
