cos((13pi)/(12))

Solution

cos (\frac{13 π}{12})

Solution

\frac{2 ( - 3 - 1 )}{4}

Decimal Notation

- 0.96592 \dots

Solution steps

cos (\frac{13 π}{12})

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (\frac{5 π}{6}) cos (\frac{π}{4}) - sin (\frac{5 π}{6}) sin (\frac{π}{4})

cos (\frac{13 π}{12})

Write

cos (\frac{13 π}{12})

cos (\frac{5 π}{6} + \frac{π}{4})

= cos (\frac{5 π}{6} + \frac{π}{4})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= cos (\frac{5 π}{6}) cos (\frac{π}{4}) - sin (\frac{5 π}{6}) sin (\frac{π}{4})

= cos (\frac{5 π}{6}) cos (\frac{π}{4}) - sin (\frac{5 π}{6}) sin (\frac{π}{4})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{5 π}{6}) = - \frac{3}{2}

cos (\frac{5 π}{6})

= \frac{2}{2}

= (- \frac{3}{2}) \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{2}

Simplify

(- \frac{3}{2}) \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{2} : \frac{2 ( - 3 - 1 )}{4}

(- \frac{3}{2}) \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{2}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

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

Factor out common term

\frac{2}{2}

= \frac{2}{2} (- \frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{2})

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

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

Apply rule

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

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

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

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{( - 3 - 1 ) 2}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{2 ( - 1 - 3 )}{4}

= \frac{2 ( - 3 - 1 )}{4}
