cos(x)<(1)32\cos{\left(x \right)} < \frac{\left(-1\right) \sqrt{3}}{2}
cos(x) < (-sqrt(3))/2
Detail solution
Given the inequality:
cos(x)<(1)32\cos{\left(x \right)} < \frac{\left(-1\right) \sqrt{3}}{2}
To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
cos(x)=(1)32\cos{\left(x \right)} = \frac{\left(-1\right) \sqrt{3}}{2}
Solve:
Given the equation
cos(x)=(1)32\cos{\left(x \right)} = \frac{\left(-1\right) \sqrt{3}}{2}
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
This equation is transformed to
x=πn+acos(32)x = \pi n + \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)}
x=πnπ+acos(32)x = \pi n - \pi + \operatorname{acos}{\left(- \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)}
Or
x=πn+5π6x = \pi n + \frac{5 \pi}{6}
x=πnπ6x = \pi n - \frac{\pi}{6}
, where n - is a integer
x1=πn+5π6x_{1} = \pi n + \frac{5 \pi}{6}
x2=πnπ6x_{2} = \pi n - \frac{\pi}{6}
x1=πn+5π6x_{1} = \pi n + \frac{5 \pi}{6}
x2=πnπ6x_{2} = \pi n - \frac{\pi}{6}
This roots
x1=πn+5π6x_{1} = \pi n + \frac{5 \pi}{6}
x2=πnπ6x_{2} = \pi n - \frac{\pi}{6}
is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression.
First define with the sign to the leftmost point:
x0<x1x_{0} < x_{1}
For example, let's take the point
x0=x1110x_{0} = x_{1} - \frac{1}{10}
=
(πn+5π6)+110\left(\pi n + \frac{5 \pi}{6}\right) + - \frac{1}{10}
=
πn110+5π6\pi n - \frac{1}{10} + \frac{5 \pi}{6}
substitute to the expression
cos(x)<(1)32\cos{\left(x \right)} < \frac{\left(-1\right) \sqrt{3}}{2}
cos(πn110+5π6)<(1)32\cos{\left(\pi n - \frac{1}{10} + \frac{5 \pi}{6} \right)} < \frac{\left(-1\right) \sqrt{3}}{2}

Then
x<πn+5π6x < \pi n + \frac{5 \pi}{6}
no execute
one of the solutions of our inequality is:
x>πn+5π6x<πnπ6x > \pi n + \frac{5 \pi}{6} \wedge x < \pi n - \frac{\pi}{6}
