What is theta when cos = -(1/2) ?
Theta can't be the 1st quadrant or
the 4th quadrant because cos is
always (+) there.
-----------
In the 2nd quadrant,
This angle is 180 - 60
-----------
In the 3rd quadrant,
This angle is 180 + 60
------------
Theta is 120 and 240 degrees

Cosine of what equals -1/2? Theta? 2*theta? If it is theta, follow the other tutor's solution. If not, set the argument of the cosine function equal to 120 or 240 or any other number x such that cos(x) = -1/2.
