Q. Express as a function of a DIFFERENT angle, 0θ<360 0^{\circ} \leq \theta<360^{\circ} .\newlinecos(308) \cos \left(308^{\circ}\right) \newlinecos() \cos \left(\square^{\circ}\right)
  1. Understand concept reference angles: Understand the concept of reference angles. The reference angle is the acute angle that a given angle makes with the x-axis. It is always between 00^\circ and 9090^\circ and can be used to find the cosine of the original angle because cosine is the x-coordinate on the unit circle.
  2. Find reference angle 308°308°: Find the reference angle for 308°308°. Since 308°308° is in the fourth quadrant (where angles are between 270°270° and 360°360°), we subtract it from 360°360° to find the reference angle. Reference angle = 360°308°=52°360° - 308° = 52°
  3. Determine cosine reference angle: Determine the cosine of the reference angle.\newlineThe cosine of an angle in the fourth quadrant is positive, and since the reference angle is 5252^\circ, we have:\newlinecos(52)=cos(360308)\cos(52^\circ) = \cos(360^\circ - 308^\circ)
  4. Express cosine function: Express the original cosine function in terms of the reference angle.\newlineSince the cosine function is positive in the fourth quadrant, we can write:\newlinecos(308°)=cos(360°52°)=cos(52°)\cos(308°) = \cos(360° - 52°) = \cos(52°)
