cos((5pi}{18})cos((2pi)/9)-sin((5pi)/(18))sin(\frac{2pi)/9)

Solution

cos (\frac{5 π}{18}) cos (\frac{2 π}{9}) - sin (\frac{5 π}{18}) sin (\frac{2 π}{9})

Solution

0

Solution steps

cos (\frac{5 π}{18}) cos (\frac{2 π}{9}) - sin (\frac{5 π}{18}) sin (\frac{2 π}{9})

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (\frac{π}{2})

cos (\frac{5 π}{18}) cos (\frac{2 π}{9}) - sin (\frac{5 π}{18}) sin (\frac{2 π}{9})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

cos (s) cos (t) - sin (s) sin (t) = cos (s + t)

= cos (\frac{5 π}{18} + \frac{2 π}{9})

Simplify:

\frac{5 π}{18} + \frac{2 π}{9} = \frac{π}{2}

\frac{5 π}{18} + \frac{2 π}{9}

Least Common Multiplier of

Least Common Multiplier (LCM)

Prime factorization of

18 : 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 3

18

18

divides by

218 = 9 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 9

9

divides by

39 = 3 \cdot 3

= 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 3

2, 3

are all prime numbers, therefore no further factorization is possible

= 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 3

Prime factorization of

9 : 3 \cdot 3

9

9

divides by

39 = 3 \cdot 3

= 3 \cdot 3

Multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either

18

9

= 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 3

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 \cdot 3 = 18

= 18

Adjust Fractions based on the LCM

Multiply each numerator by the same amount needed to multiply its

corresponding denominator to turn it into the LCM

18

For

\frac{2 π}{9} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

2

\frac{2 π}{9} = \frac{2 π 2}{9 \cdot 2} = \frac{4 π}{18}

= \frac{5 π}{18} + \frac{4 π}{18}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{5 π + 4 π}{18}

Add similar elements:

5 π + 4 π = 9 π

= \frac{9 π}{18}

Cancel the common factor:

9

= \frac{π}{2}

= cos (\frac{π}{2})

= cos (\frac{π}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{π}{2}) = 0
