What does your book mean by "x is the greatest positive angle"? There will be infinitely-many solutions to the posted equation, because that's how periodic functions work. Are you maybe supposed to use the largest angle that happens to fall within the first period, 0 degrees to 359 degrees?If 13 sin x = 5 where x is the greatest positive angle, then find the numerical value of sec (180°-x) + cos (270°-x)
Unfortunately, this question was on my final algebra and trig exam, and not in the book ?What does your book mean by "x is the greatest positive angle"? There will be infinitely-many solutions to the posted equation, because that's how periodic functions work.
