Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If x = cos^(-1)(-1/2), what is the value of x?
  • Step 1: Understand that cos^(-1)(-1/2) means we are looking for an angle x whose cosine value is -1/2.
  • Step 2: Recall the unit circle and the values of cosine for common angles. The cosine of 120 degrees (or 2π/3 radians) is -1/2.
  • Step 3: Therefore, we can conclude that x = 2π/3 is the angle we are looking for.
