I eliminated the choices to A and D.

hartnn (hartnn):

isolate cos \(\theta\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did and go cos(x)= -1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*got

hartnn (hartnn):

good, now for which angles is cos \(\theta\) = -1/2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I feel the answer should be 2pi/3 and 5pi/3

hartnn (hartnn):

2pi/3 correct :) sin (5pi/3) = +1/2

hartnn (hartnn):

**cos (5pi/3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh.... So the answer is D. 2pi/3 and 4pi/3?

hartnn (hartnn):

how about cos (4pi/3) = ..?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!!! How is cos(5pi/3)=0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean -1/2

hartnn (hartnn):

cos (5pi/3) = cos (pi+2pi/3) = - cos (2pi/3) = - (-1/2) = +1/2 actually

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you! Thank you for all your help. I was able to get a 100% on my homework with your help!

hartnn (hartnn):

great!

hartnn (hartnn):
