ALWAYS work with 1st Quad

then translate

Solve: tanxo + 1 = 0

tanxo = -1

xo = tan-1 (1)

xo = 45o

Solution : xo = 180o - 45o = 135o

xo = 360o - 45o = 315o

Solving Trig Equations

Example 5 Type 4 :

Solving the equation cos2x = 1 in the range 0o to 360o

Graphically what are we

trying to solve

cos xo = ± 1

cos xo = 1

cos2 xo = 1

xo = 0o and 360o
