1. Find, to the nearest degree, the solution set of 20 cot x - 13 = 0 over the domain 0 ≤ x ≤360
2. If x is an angle in quadrant IV and cos x = 1/6, find the value of cos(1/2)x
3. If A is a positive acute angle and cos A = (2 sqroot5) / 5, find the value of sin A
4. Find all values of x to the nearest degree which satisfy the following equation in the interval 0 degrees to 360 degrees:
3cos^2x - 5cosx = 2
Find, to the nearest degree, the solution set of 20 cot x - 13 = 0 over the following domain: FOUR problems:?
1.
20 cot x -13 = 0
cot x = 13/20
tan x = 20/13
x = 57, 237
2.
cos x = 1/6
cos (1/2)x = cos x/2 = sqrt(1/2 + 1/2 cos x)
cos x/2 = sqrt(1/2 + 1/2 * 1/6)
= sqrt(1/2 + 1/12)
cos x/2 = sqrt(7/12)
3.
sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1
sin^2 x + [2sqrt(5)/5]^2 = 1
sin^2 x + 4/25 * 5 = 1
sin^2 x = 1 - 20/25
sin^2 x = 1/5
sin x = sqrt(1/5)
4.
3cos^2 x - 5cos x = 2
3cos^2 x - 5cos x - 2 = 0
let y = cos x
3y^2 - 5y - 2 = 0
y = -1/3, 2
cos x = -1/3 cos x = 2
disregard the cos x = 2 b/c cosine's range is never greater than 1
cos x = -1/3
x = 109, 251
