cos (θ) = - 0.2

θ = 1.77215 \dots + 2 πn, θ = - 1.77215 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

θ = 101.53695 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = - 101.53695 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos (θ) = - 0.2

Apply trig inverse properties

cos (θ) = - 0.2

General solutions for

cos (θ) = - 0.2

cos (x) = - a \Rightarrow x = arccos (- a) + 2 πn, x = - arccos (- a) + 2 πn

θ = arccos (- 0.2) + 2 πn, θ = - arccos (- 0.2) + 2 πn

θ = arccos (- 0.2) + 2 πn, θ = - arccos (- 0.2) + 2 πn

Show solutions in decimal form
