find the number of root the equation given below in interval (-pi.pi)
(cosx)^7+(sinx)^4=1
Really, that is inappropriate.
I am sorry Collins that I can't help you with this question. I am currently in Pre-Calc so I haven't learned this topic in great detail yet.
This is a challenge analytically, but using the graph it is easy:

Coming up with the solutions -π/2, 0, π/2 is easy, but showing there are no others is tough.
To find the number of roots of the equation (cosx)^7 + (sinx)^4 = 1 in the interval (-pi, pi), we can use numerical methods or graphing techniques. Here's how you can approach it using graphical analysis:
1. Start by graphing the equation y = (cosx)^7 + (sinx)^4 - 1. To do this, plot the values of x and y for various values of x between -pi and pi.
2. Use a graphing tool or software to plot the graph of the equation. You can also use online graphing calculators.
3. Analyze the graph to determine the number of roots. In this case, observe the points where the graph intersects the x-axis. These intersections represent the solutions or roots of the equation.
4. Count the number of distinct points of intersection within the interval (-pi, pi). Each distinct intersection corresponds to a separate root.
Alternatively, if you have access to a numerical method, you can use root-finding algorithms like Newton's method or the bisection method to estimate the roots within the given interval. These methods start with an initial guess and iteratively refine it until a root is found.
Note: Depending on the complexity of the equation and the interval, finding an exact analytical solution may be challenging or not possible. In such cases, numerical methods or graphical analysis are effective approaches.
