Homework Statement
(a)Carefully draw graphs of y=cosx, y=x, y=(1/5)x
(b) From the graphs, determine how many solutions the equation cosx=mx has for m=1 and m=1/5
(c) Add a sketch of y=mx onto your picture, where m is chosen so that cosx=mx has exactly two solutions. (without computing the value of m)
(d) Use your sketch to estimate the correct value of m
(e) why is it true that the value of -m will also give exactly two solutions to cosx=mx?
(f)Is it possible to find a value of m such that cosx=mx has exactly three solutions? four? n?
Explain by sketching y=cosx and y=mx for relevant values of m
The Attempt at a Solution
A hint was given to us by the prof:
"you should draw all your graphs on just one diagram like: (the attachment)"
Okay, so I don't have a problem drawing the graphs,but for part (b)


Please Help
