Q. Solve the given equation. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. Let kk be any integer. Round terms to three decimal places where appropriate. If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTION.) 7cos(θ)sin(θ)+4cos(θ)=07 \cos(\theta) \sin(\theta) + 4 \cos(\theta) = 0
  1. Factor out cos(θ)\cos(\theta): Factor out cos(θ)\cos(\theta) from the equation.7cos(θ)sin(θ)+4cos(θ)=cos(θ)(7sin(θ)+4)=07 \cos(\theta) \sin(\theta) + 4 \cos(\theta) = \cos(\theta)(7 \sin(\theta) + 4) = 0
  2. Solve for θ\theta: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for θ\theta.cos(θ)=0\cos(\theta) = 0 and 7sin(θ)+4=07 \sin(\theta) + 4 = 0
  3. Solve cos(θ):\cos(\theta): Solve cos(θ)=0.\cos(\theta) = 0.\newlineθ=π2+kπ,\theta = \frac{\pi}{2} + k\pi, where kk is any integer.
  4. Solve for sin(θ)\sin(\theta): Solve 7sin(θ)+4=07 \sin(\theta) + 4 = 0.\newlinesin(θ)=47\sin(\theta) = -\frac{4}{7}
  5. Find θ\theta: Find θ\theta for sin(θ)=47\sin(\theta) = -\frac{4}{7}.\newlineθ=arcsin(47)\theta = \arcsin(-\frac{4}{7}) and θ=πarcsin(47)\theta = \pi - \arcsin(-\frac{4}{7})
  6. Combine solutions: Combine all solutions. θ=π2+kπ\theta = \frac{\pi}{2} + k\pi, arcsin(47)\arcsin\left(-\frac{4}{7}\right), πarcsin(47)\pi - \arcsin\left(-\frac{4}{7}\right)
