Hence, 𝑭𝑺𝑺 = { 𝟑 , 𝝅, 𝟑 }.
2. First, solve for the values of 2𝜃 that satisfy the equation.
𝑡𝑎𝑛2𝜃 = 1 where 0 ≤ 𝜃 < 2𝜋
Since 0 ≤ 𝜃 < 2𝜋, 2𝜃 must satisfy 0 ≤ 2𝜃 < 4𝜋. Thus, the values of 2𝜃

1. There is no special number whose cosine is 0.1. However, because 0.1
is a domain of the function, since 0.1 ∈ [−1, 1], there is a number whose
cosine is 0.1. In fact, in an interval [0, 2𝜋), with 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝑥 = 0.1 > 0, we
expect two solutions: one in QI and another in QIV. We use the inverse
cosine function using calculator.
𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝑥 = 0.1 where 0 ≤ 𝜃 < 2𝜋
