Can someone please help me with this one?

cos2x = 2 cos x sin x

I need to find 4 angles :rolleyes:

Within what range of x? And have you checked what I posted to this problem in the other thread?
 
within the range of 0, 360
 
Well this is easily solvable as long as you remember these 2 identities:

\sin 2 \theta \equiv 2 \cos \theta \sin \theta

and:

\tan \theta \equiv \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}
 
I got it right... :smile:
