OpenStudy (epoweritheta):

4 cosx -2 =0 , how do u rewrite it to get cos x in one side ??

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

Just cosx or 4cosx?

OpenStudy (epoweritheta):

just cosx

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

4-2=-cosx?

OpenStudy (epoweritheta):

no , 4cosx=2 , okay ??

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

Okay

OpenStudy (epoweritheta):

then u divide both sides of the equation by 4 , to get ______ ?

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

cosx=1/2?

OpenStudy (epoweritheta):

super ! u got it

OpenStudy (epoweritheta):

now tell me what r the values of x that satisfy this equation ???

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

I'm not sure. How do I figure that out?

OpenStudy (epoweritheta):

do u remember that cos(60 degrees) = 1/2 ??

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

I actually didn't know that

OpenStudy (epoweritheta):

oh..okay then u have to first read , friend

OpenStudy (epoweritheta):

have u taken a trigonometry course ???

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

This is for my trig/precal course

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

So x for the first equation is 60? or do we convert degrees into radians?

OpenStudy (epoweritheta):

ya... convert degrees into radians ... 60 deg = ?? rads

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

1.04719755 radians

OpenStudy (epoweritheta):

okay dont use calculators , 60 deg = pi/3 radian

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

Is that my answer or do I need to divide it?

OpenStudy (epoweritheta):

thats ur answer , but there is another solution in the range 0<x<=2pi .that is 5pi/3

OpenStudy (kkbrookly):

how do I do the next problem?
