We know that X is in the 1st quadrant right?
OpenStudy (yamyam70):
derive the equation and solve for x
OpenStudy (yamyam70):
when you transpose cos ,
it will become cos^-1 or inverse cosine.
plug it in your calculator :)
OpenStudy (yamyam70):
btw knowing that the 1st quadrant has a maximum of 90* we should have a reasonable answer
