What is the value of 5+4cos(pi/2) ?

Popular >

5+4cos(pi/2)

5 + 4 cos (\frac{π}{2})

5

Solution steps

5 + 4 cos (\frac{π}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{π}{2}) = 0

cos (\frac{π}{2})

cos (x)

periodicity table with

2 πn

cycle:

x 0 \frac{π}{6} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{2} \frac{2 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{4} \frac{5 π}{6} cos (x) 1 \frac{3}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{1}{2} 0 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} x π \frac{7 π}{6} \frac{5 π}{4} \frac{4 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{2} \frac{5 π}{3} \frac{7 π}{4} \frac{11 π}{6} cos (x) - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2}

= 0

= 5 + 4 \cdot 0

Simplify

= 5

(sin (3 0^{\circ})) (tan (4 5^{\circ})) + (tan (3 0^{\circ})) (sin (6 0^{\circ}))

cos (arctan (\frac{5}{12}) + arcsin (\frac{4}{5}))

cos (2 arccos (0))

- 2 cos (2)

sin (2 arcsin (\frac{1}{3}))
