5*cos(45)

5 \cdot cos (4 5^{\circ})

\frac{5 2}{2}

Decimal Notation

3.53553 \dots

Solution steps

5 cos (4 5^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (4 5^{\circ}) = \frac{2}{2}

cos (4 5^{\circ})

cos (x)

= \frac{2}{2}

= 5 \cdot \frac{2}{2}

Simplify

5 \cdot \frac{2}{2} : \frac{5 2}{2}

5 \cdot \frac{2}{2}

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{2 \cdot 5}{2}

Apply radical rule:

2 = 2^{\frac{1}{2}}

= \frac{5 \cdot 2 ^{\frac{1}{2}}}{2}

Apply exponent rule:

\frac{x ^{a}}{x ^{b}} = \frac{1}{x ^{b - a}}

\frac{2 ^{\frac{1}{2}}}{2 ^{1}} = \frac{1}{2 ^{1 - \frac{1}{2}}}

= \frac{5}{2 ^{1 - \frac{1}{2}}}

Subtract the numbers:

1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{5}{2 ^{\frac{1}{2}}}

Apply radical rule:

2^{\frac{1}{2}} = 2

= \frac{5}{2}

Rationalize

\frac{5}{2} : \frac{5 2}{2}

\frac{5}{2}

Multiply by the conjugate

\frac{2}{2}

= \frac{5 2}{2 2}

22 = 2

22

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

22 = 2

= 2

= \frac{5 2}{2}

= \frac{5 2}{2}

= \frac{5 2}{2}
