cos(285)

cos (28 5^{\circ})

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

Solution steps

cos (28 5^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (15 0^{\circ}) cos (13 5^{\circ}) - sin (15 0^{\circ}) sin (13 5^{\circ})

= cos (15 0^{\circ}) cos (13 5^{\circ}) - sin (15 0^{\circ}) sin (13 5^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (15 0^{\circ}) = - \frac{3}{2}

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (13 5^{\circ}) = - \frac{2}{2}

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (15 0^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (13 5^{\circ}) = \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{2 ( 3 - 1 )}{4}

cot (\frac{2 π}{3})

- sin (π)

sin (8 0^{\circ})

tan (4 0^{\circ})

arctan (5)
