Q. 0∘≤θ≤180∘. Find the value of θ in degrees.cos(θ)=−1Write your answer in simplified, rationalized form. Do not round.θ=□∘
Identify Unit Circle Properties: Identify the unit circle properties for cosine. Cosine of an angle θ on the unit circle is the x-coordinate of the point where the terminal side of the angle intersects the unit circle.
Recall Known Cosine Values: Recall the specific angles where cosine values are known. Cosine of 0 degrees is 1, cosine of 90 degrees is 0, and cosine of 180 degrees is −1.
Match Cosine Value to Angle: Match the given cosine value to the known angle.Since cos(θ)=−1, and we know that cos(180∘)=−1, θ must be 180∘.
Verify Angle Range: Verify that the angle is within the given range. Θ=180 degrees, which is within the range of 0 degrees to 180 degrees.
