Answer:

f = 3

Explanation:

Given the equation cos(22f − 1) = sin(7f + 4), the following steps must be followed in order to get the value of f;

From the trigonometry identity, sin(90-theta) = cos theta.

cos(22f-1) = sin (90-(22f-1))

cos(22f-1) = sin (90-22f+1)

cos(22f-1) = sin (91-22f)... 3

substituting eqn 3 into the original equation given, we will have;

sin (91-22f) = sin(7f + 4)

91-22f = 7f+4

7f+22f = 91-4

29f = 87

f = 87/29

f = 3
