COMMENTS
|
Angle in radians of the obtuse angle of the obtuse scalene triangle with sides of lengths 2, 3 and 4, the scalene triangle with least integer side lengths.
Arccos(-1/4) is the least positive x for which the function f(x)=cos(x)+cos(2x) attains its minimum value, which is -9/8. - Clark Kimberling, Oct 28 2011
