Hi - I'm wondering if someone could help me please on the following couple of questions regarding finding values of angles.

First one is 2sin^2(2x)+4sin(2x)=3.729, second one is cos(56-3x)=-0.783 (56 is in degrees)

For both of these find all the values for x between 0 and 360 (deg)

Thank you - I'm struggling with how far Mathcad can help me here in terms of re-arranging. It seems easy to type in the equations and click on x and then 'SOLVE' however I think I'm doing something wrong .....

Would appreciate any help

thank you

The attached worksheet shows an 'assume real' symbolic solution further down the worksheet that avoids the need for the pickReal function, but does take up rather a lot of space (could always be hidden in a collapsed Area, though).
