i managed to get all the way down to getting x= 105.7 and 372.3
But why would you take off 360 at the end to get the answer 12.3? i just don't get it, is there a rule or am i just being stupid?
please help!

You need to take off the 360 because it asks for values of x between 0 and 90.
Since the answers you get are above that range, then the values of x wanted in the answer must occur in the previous cycle.
since 105.7 - 360 is not between 0 and 90 (-254.3), it can be discounted.
Final answer = 372.3 - 360 = 12.3 [only answer that lies withing range]

Beyond it, and us, shines a greater hope and a brighter future

2cosx + 5 sinx =√34 coz (x-59) = 4
cos (x-59) = 4/√34
(x-59)= cos^-1 (4/√34) = 46.7 and 313.3
x= 46.7 +59 = 105.7 and 313.3 + 59 = 372.3
372.3 - 360 = 12.3
x= 12.3 as its within the limit
cos (x-59) = 4/√34
(x-59)= cos^-1 (4/√34) = 46.7 and 313.3
x= 46.7 +59 = 105.7 and 313.3 + 59 = 372.3
372.3 - 360 = 12.3
x= 12.3 as its within the limit
