If y= cos x, what x-value corresponds to a y-value of 1/2 between pi and 2 pi

pi/3, 5pi/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that when cosine is at 1/2, the angle measures are pi/3 degrees and 5pi/3 degrees. You can use a unit circle to find this. You can also find arccos(1/2), but that will only give you the value pi/3, not 5pi/3.

We can plug these in to find that they are indeed equal to 1/2.

step-by-step explanation :

we know that

the measurement of the outer angle is the semi-difference of the arcs which comprises

in this problem

m< xzy is the outer angle

substitute the values

the measure of angle xoy is equal to

> by central angle

substitute the value
