4. The graph of 𝑦 = 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝑥) for −180 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 180 has been drawn on the axes below.

Using the graph, find the solutions to the following equations.

𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝑥) = 0

𝑥 = −90 or 𝑥 = 90

1
𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝑥) =
2

𝑥 = 60 ± 5 or 𝑥 = −60 ± 5

Explain why there are no solutions to the equation 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝑥 ) = 2.

The cos function only has a range of 1.
