Follow-up Question

I am confused with part (e).  I don't understand the steps. How is 1.427 obtained?   How is the 20t  moved to the left side of the equation, since it is inside the COS() function?   I am just not understanding the math.   Can you step it through with an explanation at each individual step?

e)
x = 0.7 COS(20.t)
0.1 = 0.7 cos (20+)
20t=1.427 Rad.
+= 0·07 sec
Transcribed Image Text:e) x = 0.7 COS(20.t) 0.1 = 0.7 cos (20+) 20t=1.427 Rad. += 0·07 sec
