I have found a cosine solution of x= (2pi/3)n and the next part of the question says Use your general solution to find the smallest solution of this equation which is greater than 5pi. I don't remember covering this in class. Please would you be able to explain how to do this please \n" ); document.write( "

I have found a cosine solution of x= (2pi/3)n
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "and the next part of the question says \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use your general solution to find the smallest solution of this equation which is greater than 5pi.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "PLEASE READ THIS CORRECTION TO THE ANSWER I FIRST POSTED.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "If (2/3)pi is a solution so is (4/3)pi since they have the same
\n" ); document.write( "cosine value of -1/2
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "5pi takes you to the start of the 3rd Quadrant.
\n" ); document.write( "Adding 5pi you would get (5+(2/3))pi which is in the 3rd Quadrant
\n" ); document.write( "and has the same cosine value
\n" ); document.write( "================
\n" ); document.write( "But (5-(4/3))pi would be in the 1st quadrant where the cosine is +1/2
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: (5+(2/3))pi
