Answer
Here are the solutions for each trigonometric equation:
1. \( \sin Q = 0.866 \):
- \( Q = \frac{\pi}{3} + 2\pi k \) or \( Q = \frac{2\pi}{3} + 2\pi k \) for any integer \( k \).
2. \( \sin Q = 1 \):
- \( Q = \frac{\pi}{2} + 2\pi k \) for any integer \( k \).
3. \( \cos Q = 0.866 \):
- \( Q = \frac{\pi}{6} + 2\pi k \) or \( Q = \frac{11\pi}{6} + 2\pi k \) for any integer \( k \).
4. \( \cos a = 1 \):
- \( a = 2\pi k \) for any integer \( k \).
5. \( \tan \theta = 1 \):
- \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} + \pi k \) for any integer \( k \).
6. \( \tan Q = 1.703 \):
- \( Q = \arctan(1.703) + \pi k \) for any integer \( k \), approximately \( Q \approx 1.04 + \pi k \) radians.
Solution
Below are one acceptable set of answers. In each case the answer is given in “general‐form” (that is, including all angles that satisfy the equation). (Note: Here we use radians; you may convert to degrees if preferred.)
1) sin Q = 0.866
Recognize that 0.866 (more exactly, 0.8660254…) is √3/2. Since
sin(π/3) = √3/2 and sin(2π/3) = √3/2,
the general solution is
Q = π/3 + 2πk or Q = 2π/3 + 2πk for any integer k.
2) sin Q = 1
We know that sin(π/2) = 1 and that the only solution (in one period) is at π/2. Thus,
Q = π/2 + 2πk for any integer k.
3) cos Q = 0.866
Since cos(π/6) = √3/2 = 0.866 and also cos(11π/6) = √3/2, we have
Q = π/6 + 2πk or Q = 11π/6 + 2πk for any integer k.
4) cos a = 1
Cosine equals 1 when the angle is 0 (modulo 2π). Thus,
a = 0 + 2πk, or simply a = 2πk for any integer k.
5) tan θ = 1
Since tan(π/4) = 1, and tangent has period π, we get
θ = π/4 + πk for any integer k.
6) tan Q = 1.703
This is not an “exact” trigonometric value so we write the solution in terms of the arctan function. That is, one solution is
Q₀ = arctan(1.703).
Then the general solution is
Q = arctan(1.703) + πk for any integer k.
If a numerical answer is needed, note that arctan(1.703) is approximately 1.04 radians (≈59.7°), so the solutions are approximately
Q ≈ 1.04 + πk radians.
Any answer equivalent to the above is correct.
