cos^{3} (4 5^{\circ})

\frac{2}{4}

Decimal Notation

0.35355 \dots

Solution steps

cos^{3} (4 5^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (4 5^{\circ}) = \frac{2}{2}

cos (4 5^{\circ})

cos (x)

periodicity table with

36 0^{\circ} n

cycle:

x 0 3 0^{\circ} 4 5^{\circ} 6 0^{\circ} 9 0^{\circ} 12 0^{\circ} 13 5^{\circ} 15 0^{\circ} cos (x) 1 \frac{3}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{1}{2} 0 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} x 18 0^{\circ} 21 0^{\circ} 22 5^{\circ} 24 0^{\circ} 27 0^{\circ} 30 0^{\circ} 31 5^{\circ} 33 0^{\circ} cos (x) - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{2}{2}

= (\frac{2}{2})^{3}

Simplify

(\frac{2}{2})^{3} : \frac{2}{4}

(\frac{2}{2})^{3}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{( 2 ) ^{3}}{2 ^{3}}

(2)^{3} : 2^{\frac{3}{2}}

Apply radical rule:

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}

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

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

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 3

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 3 = 3

= \frac{3}{2}

= 2^{\frac{3}{2}}

= \frac{2 ^{\frac{3}{2}}}{2 ^{3}}

2^{\frac{3}{2}} = 22

2^{\frac{3}{2}}

2^{\frac{3}{2}} = 2^{1 + \frac{1}{2}}

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

Apply exponent rule:

x^{a + b} = x^{a} x^{b}

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

Refine

= 22

= \frac{2 2}{2 ^{3}}

Cancel the common factor:

2

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

2^{2} = 4

= \frac{2}{4}

= \frac{2}{4}
