Answer:

Given that sin(θ) = √65/9 and θ is in the second quadrant, we can find the exact value of cos(θ) using the Pythagorean identity: sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1.

First, let's find cos²(θ):

cos²(θ) = 1 - sin²(θ)

cos²(θ) = 1 - (√65/9)²

cos²(θ) = 1 - 65/81

cos²(θ) = (81 - 65)/81

cos²(θ) = 16/81

Taking the square root of both sides to find cos(θ):

cos(θ) = ±√(16/81)

cos(θ) = ±(4/9)

Since θ is in the second quadrant where cosine is negative, we choose the negative value:

cos(θ) = -(4/9)

Now, let's answer the other questions:

The domain of f(x) = cos(x) is all real numbers. In other words, you can input any real number as x in the function.

The range of f(x) = cos(x) is [-1, 1]. The cosine function oscillates between -1 and 1 and takes on all values within this range as x varies.
