document.write( "Question 827254: Hi, I am trying to complete an exam question on Further Maths Trigonometry. 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( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #498564 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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 \n" ); document.write( "====================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "====================== \n" ); document.write( " |
