Q. Express as a function of a DIFFERENT angle, 0∘≤θ<360∘.cos(326∘)cos(□∘)
Understand the problem: Understand the problem.We need to express cos(326∘) as a function of a different angle within the range of 0∘ to 360∘. This typically involves finding an equivalent angle that has the same cosine value but is different from 326∘.
Find the reference angle: Find the reference angle.The reference angle is the acute angle formed by the terminal side of the given angle and the x-axis. For angles in the fourth quadrant, where 326° lies, the reference angle θ′ can be found using the formula θ′=360°−θ.
Calculate the reference angle: Calculate the reference angle.θ′=360°−326°=34°The reference angle for 326° is 34°.
Determine the cosine: Determine the cosine of the reference angle.Since cosine is positive in the fourth quadrant and the reference angle is in the first quadrant where cosine is also positive, cos(326∘) is equal to cos(34∘).
Express the original cosine: Express the original cosine function in terms of the reference angle. cos(326∘)=cos(34∘)
