cos2(8x)-sin2(8x)=cos(B)cos2(8x)−sin2(8x)=cos(B)
Step 1
Subtract cos(B)cos(B) from both sides of the equation.
cos2(8x)-sin2(8x)-cos(B)=0cos2(8x)−sin2(8x)−cos(B)=0
Step 2
Step 2.1
Apply the cosine double-angle identity.
cos(2(8x))-cos(B)=0cos(2(8x))−cos(B)=0
Step 2.2
Multiply 88 by 22.
cos(16x)-cos(B)=0cos(16x)−cos(B)=0
cos(16x)-cos(B)=0cos(16x)−cos(B)=0
Step 3
Add cos(B)cos(B) to both sides of the equation.
cos(16x)=cos(B)cos(16x)=cos(B)
Step 4
For the two functions to be equal, the arguments of each must be equal.
16x=B16x=B
Step 5
Step 5.1
Divide each term in 16x=B16x=B by 1616.
16x16=B1616x16=B16
Step 5.2
Simplify the left side.
Step 5.2.1
Cancel the common factor of 1616.
Step 5.2.1.1
Cancel the common factor.
16x16=B16
Step 5.2.1.2
Divide x by 1.
x=B16
x=B16
x=B16
x=B16
