<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
θ = 76°
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>The given equation is:</u>
8 cotθ + 3 = 5
8 cotθ = 5-3
8 cotθ = 2
cot θ =
<u>Now, we find θ</u>
We know that the cot function is the inverse of the tan function.
The tan of an angle is positive in the first and third quadrants, therefore, the cot will be <u>positive</u> in the <u>first and third quadrants</u> as well
<u>Now, we are given the condition:</u>
0° ≤ x ≤ 90°
<u>Therefore, we know for sure that our angle is in the first quadrant</u>
θ = cot⁻¹() = 75.96° = 76° to the nearest degree
Hope this helps :)
