Find all angles between °0 and °360 inclusive which satisfy the equation
38.0cos =x .
OPERATION
1. First make sure your calculator is in COMP/Deg mode.
2. Now, evaluate
38.0cos
1−
to determine α, the basic angle.
3. Press once and thus obtaining the basic angle
α as approximately '4067° .
4. To determine the second angle, which lies in the fourth quadrant, press
`
Therefore the solutions are
'4067° and '20292° , approximately.
Using similar operations as in Example 14, find all angles between °0 and °360 inclusive which
satisfy the equation
53.0cos =x .
