The Attempt at a Solution
I am having trouble "knowing" what angles satisfy sec = 2 within the interval.
I can find one... ArcCos 1/2 = 1.047... which I can guess is [tex]\Pi[/tex]/3.
The other is 4[tex]\Pi[/tex]/3, but I have NO idea how to get that angle.
I need both to format two different general formulas to get all possible answers, but I have no problem doing that. My problem is the first step, magically knowing the angles that satisfy sec = 2 within the interval. I can find one using inverse functions but I don't know how one comes to the second.
