Focus F: Solving Trigonometric Equations

Example 2

After completing Investigation8 and the Check Your Understanding questions, this example should not present difficulty. However, it is important to bear in mind the following points.

  • The use of Cos-1 implies the principal inverse function, and will result in only one solution to the given equation.
  • The periodic nature of the cosine function suggests multiple solutions to the actual question.
