Question

Find the general solution of the following equation:

\[\cos x = - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\]
Sum

Solution

We have:
\[\cos x = - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\]
The value of x satisfying 

\[\cos x = - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\] is \[\frac{7\pi}{6}\]
⇒ \[\cos x = \cos\frac{7\pi}{6}\]
⇒ \[x = 2n\pi \pm \frac{7\pi}{6}\]
\[n \in Z\]
