How do you solve the following trig equation and sketch a unit circle? Equation: cosx= sqrt[(3)]/2.
Take the inverse cosine or arccos to get:
x = arccos[(sqrt(3))/2] = 60 degrees or pi/3
================================================
You sketch a unit circle by drawing a circle and letting the radius be "1".
