Answer:
The period of cosine is 2π, so you only need to find
solutions on the interval [0, 2π). The solutions on this
interval are . The solutions on the interval
(–∞, ∞) are then found by adding integer multiples 2π.

Trigonometric Functions of Multiple Angles
Recall from Lesson 4-6 that the range of the inverse sine function is restricted to acute angles of θ in the interval [–90°, 90°]. Since we are finding the inverse sine of 2θ instead of θ, we need to consider angles in the interval [–2(90°), 2(90°)] or [–180°, 180°]. Use your calculator to find the acute angle and the reference angle relationship sin (180° − θ) = sin θ to find the obtuse angle.
sin–10.24 = 2 Definition of inverse sine
13.9° or 166.1°= 2sin–1(0.24) ≈13.9° and sin(180° – 13.9°) = 166.1°
7.0° or 83.1° = Divide by 2.
Answer: 7.0° ≤ ≤ 83.1°
Trigonometric Functions of Multiple Angles
The interval is [7.0°, 83.1°]. The ball will clear the fence if the angle is between 7.0° and 83.1°.
CHECK Substitute the angle measures into the original equation to confirm the solution.
