Solution steps
0.08=0.12cos2(3.922t)
Switch sides0.12cos2(3.922t)=0.08
Solve by substitution
0.12cos2(3.922t)=0.08
Let: cos(3.922t)=u0.12u2=0.08
0.12u2=0.08:u=32​​,u=−32​​
0.12u2=0.08
Multiply both sides by 100
0.12u2=0.08
To eliminate decimal points, multiply by 10 for every digit after the decimal pointThere are 2digits to the right of the decimal point, therefore multiply by 1000.12u2⋅100=0.08⋅100
Refine12u2=8
12u2=8
Divide both sides by 12
12u2=8
Divide both sides by 121212u2​=128​
