Solving for cos θ gives us:
If
, then the reference
angle is α = 1.3181.
So for
, we have θ in the first and 4th quadrants. So
θ = 1.3181 or 4.9651
For
, we have θ in the 2nd and 3rd quadrants. So
θ = 1.8235 or 4.4597
So θ= 1.3181, 1.8235, 4.4597 or 4.9651 radians.
We can see from the graph of
that our answer is correct:
