The problem involves evaluating the function f(t) = 42cos(2t + 93°) at a specific time, with t measured in seconds. The original poster is attempting to calculate f(808ms) but is encountering difficulties with their results.
There is ongoing dialogue about the correct approach to the problem, with some participants suggesting a reevaluation of the calculations. Multiple interpretations of the steps taken are being explored, but there is no clear consensus on the correct answer yet.
Participants are working under the constraints of the problem statement and are focused on ensuring the correct conversion of units and the proper handling of the cosine function's argument.
mwhowell said:i convert from ms to s then do it out again but without separating the argument. i get -1.29 which is still wrong.
