How do you solve cos(t)= -sqrt(3)/2cos(t)=32 over the interval 0 to 2pi?

1 Answer

t=(5pi)/6=150^@t=5π6=150 and also t=(7pi)/6=210^@t=7π6=210

Explanation:

in the interval 00 to 2pi2π, cos t is negative at the 2nd and 3rd quadrants

the reference angle is the special angle 30^@30

the angle 150^@150 has a cosine of -sqrt3/232 also
the angle 210^@210 has a cosing of -sqrt3/232

have a nice day!
