Answer:

x intercept is 180

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]y = cos(\frac{1}{2}x)[/tex]

Required

Determine the x intercept

To do this, we simply set y to 0.

i.e. y = 0

Substitute 0 for y in [tex]y = cos(\frac{1}{2}x)[/tex]

[tex]0 = cos(\frac{1}{2}x)[/tex]

Take [tex]cos^{-1}[/tex] of both sides

[tex]cos^{-1}(0) = cos^{-1}(cos(\frac{1}{2}x))[/tex]

[tex]90 = \frac{1}{2}x[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2

[tex]2 * 90 = \frac{1}{2}x * 2[/tex]

[tex]2 * 90 = x[/tex]

[tex]180 = x[/tex]

[tex]x = 180[/tex]

Hence, the x intercept is 180
