Q. Find all angles, 0θ<360 0^{\circ} \leq \theta<360^{\circ} , that satisfy the equation below, to the nearest tenth of a degree.\newlinecos2θ2cosθ=0 \cos ^{2} \theta-2 \cos \theta=0 \newlineAnswer: θ= \theta=
  1. Factor equation: Factor the given equation cos2(θ)2cos(θ)=0\cos^2(\theta) - 2\cos(\theta) = 0. We can factor out cos(θ)\cos(\theta) from both terms. cos(θ)(cos(θ)2)=0\cos(\theta)(\cos(\theta) - 2) = 0
  2. Solve for theta: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for theta.\newlinecos(θ)=0\cos(\theta) = 0 and cos(θ)2=0\cos(\theta) - 2 = 0\newlineFor cos(θ)=0\cos(\theta) = 0, the angles where the cosine of theta is zero are 9090^\circ and 270270^\circ.\newlineFor cos(θ)2=0\cos(\theta) - 2 = 0, we add 22 to both sides to get cos(θ)=2\cos(\theta) = 2. However, the cosine of an angle cannot be greater than 11 or less than 1-1, so there are no solutions from this part.
  3. Compile solutions: Compile the solutions.\newlineThe angles that satisfy the equation are 9090^\circ and 270270^\circ.
