Transcript text: $f(x)=\cos (2 x)$ on $\left[-\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{4}\right]$
Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the problem of evaluating the function \( f(x) = \cos(2x) \) over the interval \(\left[-\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{4}\right]\), we can generate a set of \( x \) values within the given interval and compute the corresponding \( f(x) \) values.
Step 1: Define the Function and Interval
We are given the function \( f(x) = \cos(2x) \) and the interval \(\left[-\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{4}\right]\). We need to evaluate \( f(x) \) at various points within this interval.
Step 2: Generate \( x \) Values
We generate 100 equally spaced \( x \) values within the interval \(\left[-\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{4}\right]\).
Step 3: Compute \( f(x) \) Values
For each \( x \) value, we compute \( f(x) = \cos(2x) \).
Step 4: Present the Results
We present the computed values of \( f(x) \) for the generated \( x \) values. Here are some of the results:
