Question

Find all solutions if 0° <= u < 360°. Verify your answer graphically.

 

 

cos 2 theta= -1

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that,

cos2θ=-1

Step 2

Simplification:

Since we have,

cos2θ=-1

So

2θ=cos-1-12θ=π, 3π, ...              θ=π2, 3π2           Since 0θ<360°

Hence solution of cos2θ=-1 is θ=π2, 3π2.
