Question 300722: consider the following equation
2cos(theta)cos(theta) + theta = 0 find all solutions in the interval [0, 2pi] Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There is no solution.
cos(theta) starts at 1 when theta=0.
The square term then will always be greater than or equal to zero in the interval.
The theta term will vary between [0, 2pi].
Hence the sum will never equal zero.
