@Atrineas

OpenStudy (atrineas):

I haven't learned how to use cos I'm sorry >~<

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

can u try

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

@jdoe0001 @shaleiah

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Ok you can rearrange the equation so that cosx = -sqrt2 / 2

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

okay?

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Then look on the unit circle to see where cosx = -sqrt2 / 2

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

??

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

@bmk614 @Nnesha

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

is it b?

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

@mathstudent55

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

does anyone know the answer to this?

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

@josedavid @johnweldon1993

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Do you understand everything what I said?

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

yeah sorta

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Do you understand how I rearranged the equation to get \[cosx = \frac{ -\sqrt{2} }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

yeah i get that

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Do you know the unit circle?

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

um sorta

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

yeah i get that i just want to know if my answer is right or not

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

No, it's not b because the domain is restricted to [0, 2pi), so you can't have +2pi(n), but the 3pi/4 is right

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

so its A?

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

If you look on the unit circle (the above link), it has coordinates (x,y). cosine of that angle is x, and sine of that angle is y. You can think of it as (x, y) (cos, sin)

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

so c?

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Yes c is correct. On the unit circle, both cosine of 3pi/4 and 5pi/4 yield -sqrt2 / 2

OpenStudy (jekdidkdjrjrjjr):

ty
