cos(337.5)

Solution

cos (337. 5^{\circ})

Solution

\frac{2 + 2}{2}

Decimal Notation

0.92387 \dots

Solution steps

cos (337. 5^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

\frac{1 + cos ( 31 5 ^{\circ} )}{2}

cos (337. 5^{\circ})

Write

cos (337. 5^{\circ})

cos (\frac{67 5 ^{\circ}}{2})

= cos (\frac{67 5 ^{\circ}}{2})

Use the Half Angle identity:

cos (\frac{θ}{2}) = \frac{1 + cos ( θ )}{2}

Use the Double Angle identity

cos (2 θ) = 2 cos^{2} (θ) - 1

Substitute

θ

with

\frac{θ}{2}

cos (θ) = 2 cos^{2} (\frac{θ}{2}) - 1

Switch sides

2 cos^{2} (\frac{θ}{2}) = 1 + cos (θ)

Divide both sides by

2

cos^{2} (\frac{θ}{2}) = \frac{( 1 + cos ( θ ) )}{2}

Square root both sides

Choose the root sign according to the quadrant of

\frac{θ}{2}

range [0, 9 0^{\circ}] [9 0^{\circ}, 18 0^{\circ}] [18 0^{\circ}, 27 0^{\circ}] [27 0^{\circ}, 36 0^{\circ}] quadrant I II III I V sin positive positive negative negative cos positive negative negative positive

cos (\frac{θ}{2}) = \frac{( 1 + cos ( θ ) )}{2}

= \frac{1 + cos ( 67 5 ^{\circ} )}{2}

cos (67 5^{\circ}) = cos (31 5^{\circ})

cos (67 5^{\circ})

Rewrite

67 5^{\circ}

36 0^{\circ} + 31 5^{\circ}

= cos (36 0^{\circ} + 31 5^{\circ})

Apply the periodicity of

cos

cos (x + 36 0^{\circ}) = cos (x)

cos (36 0^{\circ} + 31 5^{\circ}) = cos (31 5^{\circ})

= cos (31 5^{\circ})

= \frac{1 + cos ( 31 5 ^{\circ} )}{2}

= \frac{1 + cos ( 31 5 ^{\circ} )}{2}

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (31 5^{\circ}) = \frac{2}{2}

cos (31 5^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (18 0^{\circ}) cos (13 5^{\circ}) - sin (18 0^{\circ}) sin (13 5^{\circ})

cos (31 5^{\circ})

Write

cos (31 5^{\circ})

cos (18 0^{\circ} + 13 5^{\circ})

= cos (18 0^{\circ} + 13 5^{\circ})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= cos (18 0^{\circ}) cos (13 5^{\circ}) - sin (18 0^{\circ}) sin (13 5^{\circ})

= cos (18 0^{\circ}) cos (13 5^{\circ}) - sin (18 0^{\circ}) sin (13 5^{\circ})

Convert element to fraction:

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

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2} + \frac{2}{2}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{1 \cdot 2 + 2}{2}

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 2 = 2

= \frac{2 + 2}{2}

= \frac{\frac{2 + 2}{2}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{2 + 2}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{2 + 2}{4}

= \frac{2 + 2}{4}

Apply radical rule:

assuming

a \geq 0, b \geq 0

= \frac{2 + 2}{4}

4 = 2

4

Factor the number:

4 = 2^{2}

= 2^{2}

Apply radical rule:

2^{2} = 2

= 2

= \frac{2 + 2}{2}
