4 x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, 4 x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

4 x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, 4 x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Solve

4 x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn : x = \frac{π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}

4 x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

4

4 x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

4

\frac{4 x}{4} = \frac{\frac{π}{2}}{4} + \frac{2 πn}{4}

Simplify

\frac{4 x}{4} = \frac{\frac{π}{2}}{4} + \frac{2 πn}{4}

Simplify

\frac{4 x}{4} : x

\frac{4 x}{4}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{4}{4} = 1

= x

Simplify

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{4} + \frac{2 πn}{4} : \frac{π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{4} + \frac{2 πn}{4}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{4} = \frac{π}{8}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{4}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a} = \frac{b}{c \cdot a}

= \frac{π}{2 \cdot 4}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 4 = 8

= \frac{π}{8}

\frac{2 πn}{4} = \frac{πn}{2}

\frac{2 πn}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{πn}{2}

= \frac{π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}

x = \frac{π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}

x = \frac{π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}

x = \frac{π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}

Solve

4 x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn : x = \frac{3 π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}

4 x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

4

4 x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

4

\frac{4 x}{4} = \frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{4} + \frac{2 πn}{4}

Simplify

\frac{4 x}{4} = \frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{4} + \frac{2 πn}{4}

Simplify

\frac{4 x}{4} : x

\frac{4 x}{4}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{4}{4} = 1

= x

Simplify

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{4} + \frac{2 πn}{4} : \frac{3 π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{4} + \frac{2 πn}{4}

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{4} = \frac{3 π}{8}

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{4}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a} = \frac{b}{c \cdot a}

= \frac{3 π}{2 \cdot 4}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 4 = 8

= \frac{3 π}{8}

\frac{2 πn}{4} = \frac{πn}{2}

\frac{2 πn}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{πn}{2}

= \frac{3 π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}

x = \frac{3 π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}

x = \frac{3 π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}

x = \frac{3 π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}

x = \frac{π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}, x = \frac{3 π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}
