3=7cos(pi/3 t)

Solution

3 = 7 cos (\frac{π}{3} t)

Solution

t = \frac{3 \cdot 1.12788 \dots}{π} + 6 n, t = 6 - \frac{3 \cdot 1.12788 \dots}{π} + 6 n

Degrees

t = 61.71048 \dots^{\circ} + 343.77467 \dots^{\circ} n, t = 282.06419 \dots^{\circ} + 343.77467 \dots^{\circ} n

Solution steps

3 = 7 cos (\frac{π}{3} t)

Switch sides

7 cos (\frac{π}{3} t) = 3

Divide both sides by

7

7 cos (\frac{π}{3} t) = 3

Divide both sides by

7

\frac{7 cos ( \frac{π}{3} t )}{7} = \frac{3}{7}

Simplify

cos (\frac{π}{3} t) = \frac{3}{7}

cos (\frac{π}{3} t) = \frac{3}{7}

Apply trig inverse properties

cos (\frac{π}{3} t) = \frac{3}{7}

General solutions for

cos (\frac{π}{3} t) = \frac{3}{7}

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

\frac{π}{3} t = arccos (\frac{3}{7}) + 2 πn, \frac{π}{3} t = 2 π - arccos (\frac{3}{7}) + 2 πn

\frac{π}{3} t = arccos (\frac{3}{7}) + 2 πn, \frac{π}{3} t = 2 π - arccos (\frac{3}{7}) + 2 πn

Solve

\frac{π}{3} t = arccos (\frac{3}{7}) + 2 πn : t = \frac{3 arccos ( \frac{3}{7} )}{π} + 6 n

\frac{π}{3} t = arccos (\frac{3}{7}) + 2 πn

Multiply both sides by

3

\frac{π}{3} t = arccos (\frac{3}{7}) + 2 πn

Multiply both sides by

3

3 \cdot \frac{π}{3} t = 3 arccos (\frac{3}{7}) + 3 \cdot 2 πn

Simplify

3 \cdot \frac{π}{3} t = 3 arccos (\frac{3}{7}) + 3 \cdot 2 πn

Simplify

3 \cdot \frac{π}{3} t : π t

3 \cdot \frac{π}{3} t

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 2 = 6

= 3 arccos (\frac{3}{7}) + 6 πn

π t = 3 arccos (\frac{3}{7}) + 6 πn

π t = 3 arccos (\frac{3}{7}) + 6 πn

π t = 3 arccos (\frac{3}{7}) + 6 πn

Divide both sides by

π

π t = 3 arccos (\frac{3}{7}) + 6 πn

Divide both sides by
