cos(3x) = -1 solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember cos 180 = -1 therefore: cos(3x) = cos (180) 3x=180 x=???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it should have more than one solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how many should it have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

four

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so part from 180, what are the other angles with a cosine of -1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try 3x=540; 3x=900; 3x=1620, find the x values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it has to be in radians

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\Pi rads= 180^{0}\] so can you convert 180,540,900 and 1620 into rads?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i can. Thanks
