Find all the values of x in the interval [0, 2(pi)] that satisfy the inequality: 8cos(x)+4>0.The answer should be in interval notation.

8*cos(x) + 4 > 0

First
we will subtract 4 from both sides.

==> 8*cos(x)
> -4

Now we will divide by
8.

`==> cos(x) >
-4/8`

`==> cos(x) >
-1/2`

`==> cos(x) + 1/2 >
0`

But we know that `cos(x) = -1/2 iff x= (2pi)/3,
(4pi)/3`

 ==> [ 0, 2pi/3 ] ==> cos(x)
> 0

==> [ 2pi/3 , 4pi/3] ==> cos(x)
< 0

==> [ 4pi/3 , 2pi] ==> cos(x)
> 0

Then, we notice that the solution
to the inequality is the interval [2pi/3 ,
4pi/3]
