cot(θ)=-3\land cos(θ)<0

Solution

cot (θ) = - 3 and cos (θ) < 0

θ = 2.81984 \dots + πn

Interval Notation

θ = 2.81984 \dots + πn

Solution steps

cot (θ) = - 3 and cos (θ) < 0

cot (θ) = - 3 : θ = 2.81984 \dots + πn

cot (θ) = - 3

Apply trig inverse properties

cot (θ) = - 3

General solutions for

cot (θ) = - 3

cot (x) = - a \Rightarrow x = arccot (- a) + πn

θ = arccot (- 3) + πn

θ = arccot (- 3) + πn

Show solutions in decimal form

θ = 2.81984 \dots + πn

cos (θ) < 0 : \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn < θ < \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

cos (θ) < 0

For

cos (x) < a

, if

- 1 < a \leq 1

then

arccos (a) + 2 πn < x < 2 π - arccos (a) + 2 πn

arccos (0) + 2 πn < θ < 2 π - arccos (0) + 2 πn

Simplify

arccos (0) : \frac{π}{2}

arccos (0)

Use the following trivial identity:

arccos (0) = \frac{π}{2}

x - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2} 1 arccos (x) π \frac{5 π}{6} \frac{3 π}{4} \frac{2 π}{3} \frac{π}{2} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{6} 0 arccos (x) 18 0^{\circ} 15 0^{\circ} 13 5^{\circ} 12 0^{\circ} 9 0^{\circ} 6 0^{\circ} 4 5^{\circ} 3 0^{\circ} 0^{\circ}

= \frac{π}{2}

Simplify

2 π - arccos (0) : \frac{3 π}{2}

2 π - arccos (0)

Use the following trivial identity:

arccos (0) = \frac{π}{2}

x - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2} 1 arccos (x) π \frac{5 π}{6} \frac{3 π}{4} \frac{2 π}{3} \frac{π}{2} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{6} 0 arccos (x) 18 0^{\circ} 15 0^{\circ} 13 5^{\circ} 12 0^{\circ} 9 0^{\circ} 6 0^{\circ} 4 5^{\circ} 3 0^{\circ} 0^{\circ}

= 2 π - \frac{π}{2}

Simplify

2 π - \frac{π}{2}

Convert element to fraction:

2 π = \frac{2 π 2}{2}

= \frac{2 π 2}{2} - \frac{π}{2}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{2 π 2 - π}{2}

2 π 2 - π = 3 π

2 π 2 - π

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= 4 π - π

Add similar elements:

4 π - π = 3 π

= 3 π

= \frac{3 π}{2}

= \frac{3 π}{2}

\frac{π}{2} + 2 πn < θ < \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Combine the intervals

θ = 2.81984 \dots + πn and \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn < θ < \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn
