If cos theta=-1/2 and 0^@ < theta < 360^...

If `cos theta=-1/2` and `0^@ < theta < 360^@` then the solutions are `a. 60^@, 240^@, b.120^@, 240^@, c.120^@, 210^@, d.120^@, 300^@`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given: `cos theta=−1/2`
`costheta=−cos60^∘`
Since,` costheta<`0 in second and third quadrants, and
`cos(180^∘−theta)=cos(180^∘+theta)=−costheta`
