Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "h = 6 + 4cos(15p)
\n" ); document.write( "The value of when p = 4
\n" ); document.write( "h = 6 + 4cos(15 x 4)
\n" ); document.write( "h = 6 + 4cos(60)
\n" ); document.write( "Cos60 = 0.5
\n" ); document.write( "h = 6 + 4 x 0.5
\n" ); document.write( "h = 8 units
\n" ); document.write( "The value of p when h = 9
\n" ); document.write( "6 + 4cos(15p) = 9
\n" ); document.write( "4cos(15p) = 9/6
\n" ); document.write( "cos(15p) = 9/(6 x 4)
\n" ); document.write( "cos(15p) = 9/24
\n" ); document.write( "cos(15p) = 0.375
\n" ); document.write( "(Using cos^-1 = 0.375)
\n" ); document.write( "15p = 67.98
\n" ); document.write( "p = 67.98/15
\n" ); document.write( "p = 4.53 (2 decimal places)
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
\n" ); document.write( "
