3*cos(pi/4)

3 \cdot cos (\frac{π}{4})

\frac{3 2}{2}

Decimal Notation

2.12132 \dots

Solution steps

3 cos (\frac{π}{4})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{π}{4}) = \frac{2}{2}

cos (\frac{π}{4})

cos (x)

periodicity table with

2 πn

= \frac{2}{2}

= 3 \cdot \frac{2}{2}

Simplify

3 \cdot \frac{2}{2} : \frac{3 2}{2}

3 \cdot \frac{2}{2}

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{2 \cdot 3}{2}

Apply radical rule:

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

= \frac{3 \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{3}{2 ^{1 - \frac{1}{2}}}

Subtract the numbers:

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

= \frac{3}{2 ^{\frac{1}{2}}}

Apply radical rule:

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

= \frac{3}{2}

Rationalize

\frac{3}{2} : \frac{3 2}{2}

\frac{3}{2}

Multiply by the conjugate

\frac{2}{2}

= \frac{3 2}{2 2}

22 = 2

22

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

22 = 2

= 2

= \frac{3 2}{2}

= \frac{3 2}{2}

= \frac{3 2}{2}

arccot (- 3)

\frac{2 \cdot ( cos ( 4 5 ^{\circ} ) ) ^{2} + 3 \cdot csc ( 3 7 ^{\circ} )}{2 tan ( 4 5 ^{\circ} )}

sin (arcsin (\frac{3}{5}) + arccos (- \frac{5}{13}))
