Answer:

5π/6 and 7π/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the inverse function of cosine, we get:


\begin{gathered} \text{cos x = }\frac{-\sqrt[]{3}}{2} \\ x=\cos ^(-1)(\frac{-\sqrt[]{3}}{2}) \\ x=(5\pi)/(6) \end{gathered}

Then, cos(x) = cos(-x), so:


\cos ((5\pi)/(6))=\cos ((-5\pi)/(6))=\frac{-\sqrt[]{3}}{2}

Finally, -5π/6 is also equivalent to 7π/6, because:

2π - 5π/6 = 7π/6

So, all the angles between o and 2π that satisfy the condition are:

5π/6 and 7π/6
