Q. Express as a function of a DIFFERENT angle, 0θ<360 0^{\circ} \leq \theta<360^{\circ} .\newlinecos(154) \cos \left(154^{\circ}\right) \newlinecos() \cos \left(\square^{\circ}\right)
  1. Find Reference Angle: We need to express cos(154°)\cos(154°) in terms of a reference angle. A reference angle is the acute angle formed by the terminal side of an angle and the x-axis. The reference angle for any angle in the second quadrant, where 154°154° lies, is found by subtracting the angle from 180°180°.\newlineCalculation: 180°154°=26°180° - 154° = 26°
  2. Use Even Property: The cosine function is even, which means that cos(θ)=cos(θ)\cos(\theta) = \cos(-\theta). Therefore, cos(154)\cos(154^\circ) can be expressed as cos(18026)\cos(180^\circ - 26^\circ), which is equivalent to cos(26)-\cos(26^\circ) because cosine is negative in the second quadrant.
  3. Express as cos(26°)-\cos(26°): We have now expressed cos(154°)\cos(154°) as a function of a different angle, cos(26°)-\cos(26°), which is within the range 0°θ<360°0° \leq \theta < 360°.
