Hi! Where is the rest of this question
Dr black is standing 13 feet from a streetlamp. The lamp is making his shadow 9 feet long. He estimates that the angle of elevation from the tip of his shadow to the top of the streetlamp is 50° to the nearest foot the streetlamp is about 26 feet tall.
I hope this helps!
We will see that the solution in the given interval is: x = 0.349 radians.
<h3>How to solve equations with the variable in the argument of a cosine?</h3>
We want to solve:
cos(3*x) = 1/2
Here we must use the inverse cosine function, Acos(x). Remember that:
cos(Acos(x)) = Acos(cos(x)) = x.
If we apply that in both sides, we get:
Acos( cos(3x) ) = Acos(1/2)
3*x = Acos(1/2)
x = Acos(1/2)/3 = 0.349
So x is equal to 0.349 radians, which belongs to the given interval.
