There is no mistake in your answer but something it's
missing.
To solve an elementary trigonomteric equation
involving cosine function, you'll have to do the following
steps:
cos x = a
x = `+-`
arccos (a) + 2k*`pi` , where k`in` Z, the set of integer
numbers
Therefore, we'll solve the equation from the
point:
cos(x+3) = 1/5
x + 3 =
`+-` arccos(1/5) + 2k*`pi`
x = `+-` arccos(1/5) +
2k`pi`
We'll consider k =0 => 2k`pi` =
0
arccos (1/5) = arccos(0.2) = 0.064
`pi`
x = 0.064 `pi` - 3
If
we'll consider pi = 3.14, we'll get:
x = 0.20096 -
3
x = -2.79 approx.
x = -
0.064 `pi` - 3
x = -3.20
approx.
We'll consider k =1 => 2k`pi` =
2`pi`
x = 0.064`pi` + 2`pi` -
3
x = 3.48 approx.
x = -0.064
`pi` + 2`pi` - 3
x = 3.07
approx
Since the angle is included in the interval [0,2`pi`
], then k cannot be larger than 1.
Therefore,
the solutions of the equation, in the interval [0,2`pi ` ], for `pi` = 3.14, are: {-3.20
; -2.79 ; 3.07 ; 3.48}.
