Q. Find all solutions with 0θ1800^\circ \leq \theta \leq 180^\circ. Give the exact answer(s) in simplest form. If there are multiple answers, separate them with commas.\newlinecos(θ)=12\cos (\theta) = \frac{1}{2}\newline____\_\_\_\_\,^\circ
  1. Identify cos(θ)=12\cos(\theta) = \frac{1}{2}: Recognize that cos(θ)=12\cos(\theta) = \frac{1}{2} corresponds to angles where the x-coordinate of the point on the unit circle is 12\frac{1}{2}. This happens at 6060^\circ and its supplementary angle.
  2. Calculate Supplementary Angle: Calculate the supplementary angle of 60°60°, which is 180°60°=120°180° - 60° = 120°.
  3. List Angles for cos(θ)=12\cos(\theta) = \frac{1}{2}: List the two angles where cos(θ)=12\cos(\theta) = \frac{1}{2} within the given range: 6060^\circ and 120120^\circ.
