Tap for more steps...

Step 1.1

Since $\cos (- x)$ is an even function, rewrite $\cos (- x)$ as $\cos (x)$ .

$\sin^{2} (x) = 6 (\cos (x) + 1)$

Step 1.2

Apply the distributive property.

$\sin^{2} (x) = 6 \cos (x) + 6 \cdot 1$

Step 1.3

Multiply $6$ by $1$ .

$\sin^{2} (x) = 6 \cos (x) + 6$

Step 2

Graph each side of the equation. The solution is the x-value of the point of intersection.

$x = π + 2 π n$ , for any integer $n$
