What value(s) of theta (0 less than or equal to theta less than or equal to 2pi) solve the following equation: cos squared theta - cos theta - 6 = 0

2 answers

cos^2 Ø - sin^2 Ø = 6
cos 2Ø = 6

no solution, the cosine of anything cannot be greater than 1
do you have a typo?
No, I don't just my professor trying to trick us, thanks for the help!
