Solution

cos (\frac{5 π}{4} - \frac{7 π}{6})

Solution

\frac{6 + 2}{4}

Decimal Notation

0.96592 \dots

Solution steps

cos (\frac{5 π}{4} - \frac{7 π}{6})

Simplify:

\frac{5 π}{4} - \frac{7 π}{6} = \frac{π}{12}

\frac{5 π}{4} - \frac{7 π}{6}

Least Common Multiplier of

Least Common Multiplier (LCM)

Prime factorization of

4 : 2 \cdot 2

4

4

divides by

24 = 2 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 2

Prime factorization of

6 : 2 \cdot 3

6

6

divides by

26 = 3 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 3

2, 3

are all prime numbers, therefore no further factorization is possible

= 2 \cdot 3

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

4

6

= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 = 12

= 12

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

12

For

\frac{5 π}{4} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

3

\frac{5 π}{4} = \frac{5 π 3}{4 \cdot 3} = \frac{15 π}{12}

For

\frac{7 π}{6} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

2

\frac{7 π}{6} = \frac{7 π 2}{6 \cdot 2} = \frac{14 π}{12}

= \frac{15 π}{12} - \frac{14 π}{12}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{15 π - 14 π}{12}

Add similar elements:

15 π - 14 π = π

= \frac{π}{12}

= cos (\frac{π}{12})

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (\frac{π}{4}) cos (\frac{π}{6}) + sin (\frac{π}{4}) sin (\frac{π}{6})

cos (\frac{π}{12})

Write

cos (\frac{π}{12})

cos (\frac{π}{4} - \frac{π}{6})

= cos (\frac{π}{4} - \frac{π}{6})

Use the Angle Difference identity:

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

= cos (\frac{π}{4}) cos (\frac{π}{6}) + sin (\frac{π}{4}) sin (\frac{π}{6})

= cos (\frac{π}{4}) cos (\frac{π}{6}) + sin (\frac{π}{4}) sin (\frac{π}{6})
