Solve for theta if 8cos^2 theta-3=1 |
2011-12-02 |

From Katherine:
Hi,
I have just learned to solve trigonometric problems for theta and have one specific question in order to find the solutions to my homework.
I will use one example for this question. If I have 8cos^2 theta-3=1
I first divide by 8 and get cos^2theta=3/8
then I have cos theta= plus or minus the square root of 3/8
Then I assume that I plug in inverse cos (the square root of 3/8) to my calculator.
How do I find the four solutions (we are typically supposed to find four, I believe?)
Can you help me with finding the solution to this problem? Thank you!
