Question inside! :)

|dw:1367029300752:dw| what do u think @terenzreignz ? :)

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

It won't be a function if there was more than one :) Good job.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Wait... this isn't a function, is it :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol :P wait so is the answer still 1 then? :)

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Nope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

aww darn :( then how can i find the right one @terenzreignz ? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so if it isn't a function, then what is it? :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are infinite solutions \[\cos (\pi/2)=0\\ \cos(3\pi/2)=0\\ \vdots\\ \cos\left[(2n+1){\pi\over2}\right]=0 \]

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Because these functions (sines and cosines) aren't one-to-one... For instance, \(\large \frac{\pi}{2}\) a solution, but also \(\large \frac{3\pi}{2}\) and many others ;)

|dw:1367029515976:dw| every time you trace the angle to these veritical positions, cosine ratio becomes "0"
