Find the Exact Value arccos(14/15)
Problem
Solution
Identify the nature of the expression. The expression
arccos(14/15) represents the angleθ in the interval[0,π] such thatcos(θ)=14/15 Check for standard values. The value
14/15 is not a coordinate from the standard unit circle (such as0,1/2,√(,2)/2,√(,3)/2,1 .Determine if further simplification is possible. Since
14/15 is not a standard trigonometric ratio and there are no other operations or identities to apply, the exact value is expressed in its inverse trigonometric form.
