cos(x)= a/b

cos (x) = \frac{a}{b}

x = arccos (\frac{a}{b}) + 2 πn, x = - arccos (\frac{a}{b}) + 2 πn

Solution steps

cos (x) = \frac{a}{b}

Apply trig inverse properties

x = arccos (\frac{a}{b}) + 2 πn, x = - arccos (\frac{a}{b}) + 2 πn

sin^{2} (θ) - sin (θ) - 12 = 0

2 cos^{2} (x) - sin (- x) - 1 = 0

589 \cdot sin (4 5^{\circ}) = 443 \cdot sin (x)

cos (θ) = 0.7609

sin (x) = \frac{3}{2}, 0 \leq x < 2 π
