cos(θ)= 7/8

cos (θ) = \frac{7}{8}

θ = 0.50536 \dots + 2 πn, θ = 2 π - 0.50536 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

θ = 28.95502 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 331.04497 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos (θ) = \frac{7}{8}

Apply trig inverse properties

cos (θ) = \frac{7}{8}

General solutions for

cos (θ) = \frac{7}{8}

cos (x) = a \Rightarrow x = arccos (a) + 2 πn, x = 2 π - arccos (a) + 2 πn

θ = arccos (\frac{7}{8}) + 2 πn, θ = 2 π - arccos (\frac{7}{8}) + 2 πn

θ = arccos (\frac{7}{8}) + 2 πn, θ = 2 π - arccos (\frac{7}{8}) + 2 πn

Show solutions in decimal form

θ = 0.50536 \dots + 2 πn, θ = 2 π - 0.50536 \dots + 2 πn
