You left off the angle for the cosine, so I can't tell whether
you meant the equation to be this:
or this:
So I'll do it both ways:
-----------------------------
If it is the first way,
Use the identity
Factor out
Use the zero-factor principle.
Set the first factor = 0:
The only angles between 0° and 360° which have their
cosine equaling to zero are 90° and 270°. So those
are two of the solutions.
Set the second factor = 0:
With a calculator we find the inverse sine of
is the first quadrant angle 22.02431284°. However the
angle in the second quadrant whioch has 22.02431284° as
its reference angle is 157.9756872°.
So the four solutions on the interval
,
with the decimals rounded to the nearest tenth of a degree are:
,
,
,
------------------------
If it was supposed to have been the second way:
Divide both sides by
Divide both sides by 4:
Use the identity
With a calculator we find the inverse tangent of
is the first quadrant angle 36.86989765°. However the
angle in the third quadrant which has 36.86989765° as
its reference angle is 216.8698976°.
Now since the angle is
and not just
,
we must find all solutions for
in twice the interval,
that is the interval
, so that
will be in the interval
.
So we must add 360° to each of those two values, so that when
we find
by dividing by 2 we will have all the
solutions in the interval
.
So we have
,
,
,
,
Now solving for
, we have:
,
,
,
,
Or rounded to the nearest tenth of a degree:
,
,
