Question

I am so confused with this question, someone please lead me to an understanding
"There are values of t so that cos t= 5/3"

Answer 1

Huh?
There are values of t, so that cos(t) = 5/3

I think what it's saying is, cos(t) [Some number] is equal to 5/3

In other words, what number of cos will be 5/3, or 1.6666....

Answer 2

well the choices given are
true or false
so it is a true or false question

Answer 3

lol the answer is NO!!

Answer 4

since cosine cannot be larger than 1

Answer 5

\[\cos(t) = 1.67 \space \space \space or \space \space \space \frac{ 5 }{ 3 }\]

I guess you could plug in terms, like cos(1), cos(2), and if you can't find the value, then it's false.

Answer 6

okay cool that makes sense then

Answer 7

Not possible. There is no value greater than 1 on the unit circle

Answer 8

the largest cosine can be is 1, the smallest is -1

Answer 9

@satellite73 , let her learn, my child. Let her learn.

Answer 10

let her learn by plugging in infinite values until she reaches the conclusion?

Answer 11

By definition, cos(x), sin(x) live between -1 and 1

Answer 12

okay so no because cos cannot be bigger than 1

Answer 13

correct
