Q. Find all angles, 0∘≤θ<360∘, that satisfy the equation below, to the nearest tenth of a degree.cot2θ−1=0Answer: θ=
Solve Equation: Solve the equation cot2(θ)−1=0 for cot2(θ).cot2(θ)−1=0⇒cot2(θ)=1
Take Square Root: Take the square root of both sides to solve for cot(θ).cot(θ)=±1
Determine Angles: Determine the angles where cot(θ)=1 and cot(θ)=−1. For cot(θ)=1, θ can be 45° or 225°. For cot(θ)=−1, θ can be 135° or 315°.
Verify Angles: Verify that all found angles are within the given range 0^\circ \leq \theta < 360^\circ. All angles 45∘, 135∘, 225∘, and 315∘ are within the range.
