Complete the general solution to y = cos-1(1) for K a whole number.

OpenStudy (freckles):

what is K and are you suppose to just evaluate \[\arccos(1)?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No idea....this is how the problem is stated with no further instructions

OpenStudy (freckles):

you can find this on the unit circle just solve for cos(y)=1 where y is some number between 0 and pi

OpenStudy (freckles):

for what angle between 0 and pi do you cos is 1?

OpenStudy (freckles):

you can use that

OpenStudy (freckles):

and remember cos is the first value in the ordered pair and sine is the second value in the ordered pair

OpenStudy (freckles):

so you should see an angle between 0 and pi such that cosine is 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (freckles):

what angle (in radians) do you see such that cosine is 1?
