\displaystyle\\\cos\theta=\frac{4}{5}\\\\ \sin\theta=\sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}=\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^2} =\sqrt{1-\frac{16}{25}} =\sqrt{\frac{9}{25}} =\frac{3}{5}~~\text{(If } \theta \in \text{quadrant 1)}}\\\\\\ \cot(\theta)=\frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}=\frac{~~\dfrac{4}{5}~~}{\dfrac{3}{5}}=\frac{4}{5}\times\frac{5}{3}=\frac{4}{3}\\\\\\\boxed{\cot(\theta)=\frac{4}{3}}

Use a calculator to solve the equation on the interval [0, 2π). Round to the nearest hundredth of a radian. sin 2x - sin x = 0 :
Bumek [7]
Sin 2x - sin x=0
Using the trigonometric identity: sin 2x=2 sinx cosx
2 sinx cosx - sinx =0
Common factor sinx
sinx ( 2 cosx -1)=0
Two options:
1) sinx=0
on the interval [0,2π), the sinx=0 for x=0 and x=<span>π=3.1416→x=3.14

2) 2 cosx - 1=0
Solving for cosx
2 cosx-1+1=0+1
2 cosx = 1
Dividing by 2 both sides of the equation:
(2 cosx)/2=1/2
cosx=1/2

cosx is positive in first and fourth quadrant:
First quadrant cosx=1/2→x=cos^(-1) (1/2)→x=</span><span>π/3=3.1416/3→x=1.05
Fourth quadrant: x=</span>2π-π/3=(6π-π)/3→x=5<span>π/3=5(3.1416)/3→x=5.24

Answer: Solutions: x=0, 1.05, 3.14, and 5.24</span>
