Beyond the Answer
To solve the equation \( 2 \cos x = -\sqrt{3} \), we start by isolating the cosine term: \[ \cos x = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] We need to find the values of \( x \) in the interval \( 0 \leq x < 2\pi \) for which the cosine function takes the value of \( -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \). We know that the cosine function equals \( -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \) at specific angles in the second and third quadrants: \[ x = \frac{5\pi}{6} \quad \text{(second quadrant)} \] \[ x = \frac{7\pi}{6} \quad \text{(third quadrant)} \] Thus, the solutions to the equation \( 2 \cos x = -\sqrt{3} \) within the given interval are: \[ x = \frac{5\pi}{6}, \quad x = \frac{7\pi}{6} \] These two angles represent the complete set of solutions between \( 0 \) and \( 2\pi \).
