Solution

- 2

Decimal Notation

- 1.41421 \dots

Solution steps

sec (- 22 5^{\circ})

Use the following property:

sec (- x) = sec (x)

sec (- 22 5^{\circ}) = sec (22 5^{\circ})

= sec (22 5^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

\frac{1}{cos ( 22 5 ^{\circ} )}

sec (22 5^{\circ})

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

sec (x) = \frac{1}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{1}{cos ( 22 5 ^{\circ} )}

= \frac{1}{cos ( 22 5 ^{\circ} )}

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (22 5^{\circ}) = - \frac{2}{2}

cos (22 5^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (18 0^{\circ}) cos (4 5^{\circ}) - sin (18 0^{\circ}) sin (4 5^{\circ})

cos (22 5^{\circ})

Write

cos (22 5^{\circ})

cos (18 0^{\circ} + 4 5^{\circ})

= cos (18 0^{\circ} + 4 5^{\circ})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= cos (18 0^{\circ}) cos (4 5^{\circ}) - sin (18 0^{\circ}) sin (4 5^{\circ})

= cos (18 0^{\circ}) cos (4 5^{\circ}) - sin (18 0^{\circ}) sin (4 5^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (18 0^{\circ}) = (- 1)

cos (18 0^{\circ})

= \frac{2}{2}

= (- 1) \frac{2}{2} - 0 \cdot \frac{2}{2}

Simplify

= - \frac{2}{2}

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

Simplify

\frac{1}{- \frac{2}{2}} : - 2

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

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b}

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

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{1}{\frac{b}{c}} = \frac{c}{b}

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

= - \frac{2}{2}

Apply radical rule:

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

\frac{x ^{a}}{x ^{b}} = x^{a - b}

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

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

Subtract the numbers:

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

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

Apply radical rule:

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

= - 2

= - 2
