Question

Given `cosbeta=5`, how do you find `cosbeta`?

Answer 1

There is no solution.

Explanation:

Assuming that you meant to ask about finding `beta` instead of `cosbeta`, the other answer in this thread is correct.

`-1 <= cosbeta <= 1` for all values of `beta`.

Therefore, the equation `cosbeta = 5` has no solution.
Similarly, `cosbeta = 2` and `cosbeta = -1.0001` have no solution.
