115. Consider the function ( ) 3 cos4
f x x π⎛ ⎞= + −⎜ ⎟⎝ ⎠
.
a. Note that this function has a phase shift of 4π units to the right. So, we take the
interval used to define 1cos x− , namely [ ]0,π and add 4π to both endpoints to get
the interval 5,4 4π π⎡ ⎤⎢ ⎥⎣ ⎦
. Note that f is, in fact, one-to-one on this interval.
b. Now, we determine a formula for 1f − , along with its domain:

So, the equation of the inverse of f is given by: ( )1 1( ) cos 34
f x xπ− −= + −
The domain of 1f − is equal to the range of f. Since the amplitude of f is 1 and there is a vertical shift up of 3 units, we see that the range of f is [ ]2, 4 . Hence, the domain of 1f −
is [ ]2, 4 .
117. Consider the function ( )14 6( ) 2 cot 2f x x π= + − .
(a) We know that cot 2y x= is 1-1 on ( )20, π . As such, since ( )6cot 2y x π= − is simply a horizontal shift of coty x= to the right 12
π units, we conclude that it is 1-1 on the interval
( ) ( )512 2 12 12 120 , ,π π π π π− − = − . Since multiplying by a constant and shifting it vertically do not
affect whether or not it is 1-1, we conclude that f is 1-1 on this interval as well. (b) Restricting our attention to x values in ( )5

7. The values of θ in [ ]0, 2π that satisfy 1sin 22
The value of θ in[ ]0,2π that satisfy this equation must satisfy 2 3θ π= , so that 2
3πθ = .
29. Factoring the left-side of 2tan 1 0θ − = yields the equivalent equation ( )( )tan 1 tan 1 0θ θ− + = which is satisfied when either tan 1 0 or tan 1 0θ θ− = + = . The
values of θ in [ ]0, 2π that satisfy tan 1θ = are 5,4 4π πθ = , and those which satisfy
tan 1θ = − are 3 7,4 4π πθ = . Thus, the solutions to the original equation are
3 5 7, , ,4 4 4 4π π π πθ = .
31. Factoring the left-side of 22cos cos 0θ θ− = yields the equivalent equation ( )cos 2cos 1 0θ θ − = which is satisfied when either cos 0 or 2cos 1 0θ θ= − = . The
values of θ in [ ]0, 2π that satisfy cos 0θ = are 3,2 2π πθ = , and those which satisfy
1cos2
θ = are 5,3 3π πθ = . Thus, the solutions to the original equation are

33. Factoring the left-side of 2csc 3csc 2 0θ θ+ + = yields the equivalent equation ( )( )csc 2 csc 1 0θ θ+ + = which is satisfied when either csc 2 0 or csc 1 0θ θ+ = + = . The
values of θ in [ ]0, 2π that satisfy csc 2θ = − (or equivalently 1sin2
θ = − ) are
7 11,6 6π πθ = , and those which satisfy csc 1θ = − (or equivalently sin 1θ = − ) are 3
2πθ =
. Thus, the solutions to the original equation are 7 11 3, ,6 6 2π π πθ = .
35. Factoring the left-side of 2sin 2sin 3 0θ θ+ − = yields the equivalent equation ( )( )sin 3 sin 1 0θ θ+ − = which is satisfied when either sin 3 0 or sin 1 0θ θ+ = − = . Note that the equationsin 3 0θ + = has no solution since –3 is not in the range of sine. The
value of θ in [ ]0, 2π that satisfies sin 1θ = is2πθ = .
37. Factoring the left-side of 2sec 1 0θ − = yields the equivalent equation ( )( )sec 1 sec 1 0θ θ− + = , which is satisfied whenever sec 1θ = ± , or equivalently
cos 1θ = ± . The values of θ in ( )0, 2π for which this is true are 0,θ π= .

41. In order to find all of the values of θ in 0 ,360⎡ ⎤⎣ ⎦ that satisfy sin 2 0.7843θ = − , we proceed as follows: Step 1: Find the values of 2θ whose sine is 0.7843− . Indeed, observe that one solution is ( )1sin 0.7843 51.655− − ≈ − , which is in QIV. Since the angles we seek have positive measure, we use the representative 360 51.655 308.345− ≈ . A second solution occurs in QIII, and has value 180 51.655 231.655+ = . Step 2: Use periodicity to find all values of θ that satisfy the original equation. Using periodicity with the solutions obtained in Step 1, we see that
and so, the solutions to the original equation are approximately: 115.83 , 295.83 , 154.17 , 334.17θ ≈
43. In order to find all of the values of θ in 0 ,360⎡ ⎤⎣ ⎦ that satisfy tan 0.23432θ⎛ ⎞ = −⎜ ⎟⎝ ⎠

we proceed as follows:
Step 1: Find the values of 2θ whose tangent is 0.2343− .
Indeed, observe that one solution is ( )1tan 0.2343 13.187− − ≈ − , which is in QIV. Since the angles we seek have positive measure, we use the representative 360 13.187 346.813− ≈ . A second solution occurs in QII, and has value 346.813 180 166.813− = . Step 2: Use Step 1 to find all values of θ that satisfy the original equation, and exclude any value of θ that satisfies the equation, but lies outside the interval 0 ,360⎡ ⎤⎣ ⎦ . The solutions obtained in Step 1 are
166.813 , 346.8132θ= .
When multiplied by 2, the solution corresponding to346.813 will no longer be in the interval. So, the solution to the original equation in 0 ,360⎡ ⎤⎣ ⎦ is approximately

which is in QI. A second solution occurs in QIII, and has value 29.0546 180 209.0546+ = . Since the input of cotangent is simply θ , and not some multiple thereof, we conclude that the solutions to the original equation are approximately 29.05 , 209.05θ ≈ .
47. In order to find all of the values of θ in 0 ,360⎡ ⎤⎣ ⎦ that satisfy 4sin 2 0θ + = , we proceed as follows:

Since the angles we seek have positive measure, we use the representative 360 20.7048 339.30− ≈ . A second solution occurs in QIII, and has value 20.7048 180 200.70+ = . Since the input of sine is simply θ , and not some multiple thereof, we conclude that the solutions to the original equation are approximately 200.70 , 339.30θ ≈ .

First, note that while there are no positive solutions of the equation sin eθθ = , there are infinitely many negative solutions (at least one between each consecutive pair of x-intercepts). They are all irrational, and there is no apparent closed-form formula that can be used to generate them.
