Solution

Solution

\frac{2 5 - 5}{8}

Decimal Notation

0.29389 \dots

Solution steps

sin (\frac{π}{10}) cos (\frac{π}{10})

Rewrite using trig identities:

\frac{sin ( \frac{π}{5} )}{2}

sin (\frac{π}{10}) cos (\frac{π}{10})

Use the Double Angle identity:

2 sin (x) cos (x) = sin (2 x)

sin (x) cos (x) = \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{2}

= \frac{sin ( 2 \cdot \frac{π}{10} )}{2}

Simplify:

2 \cdot \frac{π}{10} = \frac{π}{5}

2 \cdot \frac{π}{10}

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{π 2}{10}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{π}{5}

= \frac{sin ( \frac{π}{5} )}{2}

= \frac{sin ( \frac{π}{5} )}{2}

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (\frac{π}{5}) = \frac{2 5 - 5}{4}

sin (\frac{π}{5})

Show that:

cos (\frac{π}{5}) - sin (\frac{π}{10}) = \frac{1}{2}

Use the following product to sum identity:

2 sin (x) cos (y) = sin (x + y) - sin (x - y)

2 cos (\frac{π}{5}) sin (\frac{π}{10}) = sin (\frac{3 π}{10}) - sin (\frac{π}{10})

Show that:

2 cos (\frac{π}{5}) sin (\frac{π}{10}) = \frac{1}{2}

Use the Double Angle identity:

sin (2 x) = 2 sin (x) cos (x)

sin (\frac{2 π}{5}) = 2 sin (\frac{π}{5}) cos (\frac{π}{5})

sin (\frac{2 π}{5}) sin (\frac{π}{5}) = 4 sin (\frac{π}{5}) sin (\frac{π}{10}) cos (\frac{π}{5}) cos (\frac{π}{10})

Divide both sides by

sin (\frac{π}{5})

sin (\frac{2 π}{5}) = 4 sin (\frac{π}{10}) cos (\frac{π}{5}) cos (\frac{π}{10})

Use the following identity:

sin (x) = cos (\frac{π}{2} - x)

sin (\frac{2 π}{5}) = cos (\frac{π}{2} - \frac{2 π}{5})

cos (\frac{π}{2} - \frac{2 π}{5}) = 4 sin (\frac{π}{10}) cos (\frac{π}{5}) cos (\frac{π}{10})

cos (\frac{π}{10}) = 4 sin (\frac{π}{10}) cos (\frac{π}{5}) cos (\frac{π}{10})

Divide both sides by

cos (\frac{π}{10})

1 = 4 sin (\frac{π}{10}) cos (\frac{π}{5})

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{1}{2} = 2 sin (\frac{π}{10}) cos (\frac{π}{5})

Substitute

\frac{1}{2} = 2 sin (\frac{π}{10}) cos (\frac{π}{5})

\frac{1}{2} = sin (\frac{3 π}{10}) - sin (\frac{π}{10})

sin (\frac{3 π}{10}) = cos (\frac{π}{2} - \frac{3 π}{10})

\frac{1}{2} = cos (\frac{π}{2} - \frac{3 π}{10}) - sin (\frac{π}{10})

\frac{1}{2} = cos (\frac{π}{5}) - sin (\frac{π}{10})

Show that:

cos (\frac{π}{5}) + sin (\frac{π}{10}) = \frac{5}{4}

Use the factorization rule:

a^{2} - b^{2} = (a + b) (a - b)

a = cos (\frac{π}{5}) + sin (\frac{π}{10})

(cos (\frac{π}{5}) + sin (\frac{π}{10}))^{2} - (cos (\frac{π}{5}) - sin (\frac{π}{10}))^{2} = ((cos (\frac{π}{5}) + sin (\frac{π}{10})) + (cos (\frac{π}{5}) - sin (\frac{π}{10}))) ((cos (\frac{π}{5}) + sin (\frac{π}{10})) - (cos (\frac{π}{5}) - sin (\frac{π}{10})))

Refine

(cos (\frac{π}{5}) + sin (\frac{π}{10}))^{2} - (cos (\frac{π}{5}) - sin (\frac{π}{10}))^{2} = 2 (2 cos (\frac{π}{5}) sin (\frac{π}{10}))

Show that:

2 cos (\frac{π}{5}) sin (\frac{π}{10}) = \frac{1}{2}

Use the Double Angle identity:

sin (2 x) = 2 sin (x) cos (x)

sin (\frac{2 π}{5}) = 2 sin (\frac{π}{5}) cos (\frac{π}{5})

sin (\frac{2 π}{5}) sin (\frac{π}{5}) = 4 sin (\frac{π}{5}) sin (\frac{π}{10}) cos (\frac{π}{5}) cos (\frac{π}{10})

Divide both sides by

sin (\frac{π}{5})

sin (\frac{2 π}{5}) = 4 sin (\frac{π}{10}) cos (\frac{π}{5}) cos (\frac{π}{10})

Use the following identity:

sin (x) = cos (\frac{π}{2} - x)

sin (\frac{2 π}{5}) = cos (\frac{π}{2} - \frac{2 π}{5})

cos (\frac{π}{2} - \frac{2 π}{5}) = 4 sin (\frac{π}{10}) cos (\frac{π}{5}) cos (\frac{π}{10})

cos (\frac{π}{10}) = 4 sin (\frac{π}{10}) cos (\frac{π}{5}) cos (\frac{π}{10})

Divide both sides by

cos (\frac{π}{10})

1 = 4 sin (\frac{π}{10}) cos (\frac{π}{5})

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{1}{2} = 2 sin (\frac{π}{10}) cos (\frac{π}{5})

Substitute

2 cos (\frac{π}{5}) sin (\frac{π}{10}) = \frac{1}{2}

(cos (\frac{π}{5}) + sin (\frac{π}{10}))^{2} - (cos (\frac{π}{5}) - sin (\frac{π}{10}))^{2} = 1

Substitute

cos (\frac{π}{5}) - sin (\frac{π}{10}) = \frac{1}{2}

(cos (\frac{π}{5}) + sin (\frac{π}{10}))^{2} - (\frac{1}{2})^{2} = 1

Refine

(cos (\frac{π}{5}) + sin (\frac{π}{10}))^{2} - \frac{1}{4} = 1

Add

\frac{1}{4}

to both sides

(cos (\frac{π}{5}) + sin (\frac{π}{10}))^{2} - \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = 1 + \frac{1}{4}

Refine

(cos (\frac{π}{5}) + sin (\frac{π}{10}))^{2} = \frac{5}{4}

Take the square root of both sides

cos (\frac{π}{5}) + sin (\frac{π}{10}) = \pm \frac{5}{4}

cos (\frac{π}{5})

cannot be negative

sin (\frac{π}{10})

cannot be negative

cos (\frac{π}{5}) + sin (\frac{π}{10}) = \frac{5}{4}

Add the following equations

cos (\frac{π}{5}) + sin (\frac{π}{10}) = \frac{5}{2}

((cos (\frac{π}{5}) + sin (\frac{π}{10})) + (cos (\frac{π}{5}) - sin (\frac{π}{10}))) = (\frac{5}{2} + \frac{1}{2})

Refine

cos (\frac{π}{5}) = \frac{5 + 1}{4}

Square both sides

(cos (\frac{π}{5}))^{2} = (\frac{5 + 1}{4})^{2}

Use the following identity:

sin^{2} (x) = 1 - cos^{2} (x)

sin^{2} (\frac{π}{5}) = 1 - cos^{2} (\frac{π}{5})

Substitute

cos (\frac{π}{5}) = \frac{5 + 1}{4}

sin^{2} (\frac{π}{5}) = 1 - (\frac{5 + 1}{4})^{2}

Refine

sin^{2} (\frac{π}{5}) = \frac{5 - 5}{8}

Take the square root of both sides

sin (\frac{π}{5}) = \pm \frac{5 - 5}{8}

sin (\frac{π}{5})

cannot be negative

sin (\frac{π}{5}) = \frac{5 - 5}{8}

Refine

sin (\frac{π}{5}) = \frac{\frac{5 - 5}{2}}{2}

= \frac{\frac{5 - 5}{2}}{2}

\frac{\frac{5 - 5}{2}}{2} = \frac{2 5 - 5}{4}

\frac{\frac{5 - 5}{2}}{2}

\frac{5 - 5}{2} = \frac{5 - 5}{2}

Apply radical rule:

assuming

= \frac{\frac{5 - 5}{2}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

Rationalize

\frac{5 - 5}{2 2} : \frac{2 5 - 5}{4}

\frac{5 - 5}{2 2}

Multiply by the conjugate

\frac{2}{2}

= \frac{5 - 5 2}{2 \cdot 2 2}

2 \cdot 22 = 4

2 \cdot 22

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

222 = 2 \cdot 2^{\frac{1}{2}} \cdot 2^{\frac{1}{2}} = 2^{1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}}

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

Add similar elements:

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

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

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

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2}

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Cancel the common factor:

2

= 1

= 2^{1 + 1}

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= 2^{2}

2^{2} = 4

= 4

= \frac{2 5 - 5}{4}

= \frac{2 5 - 5}{4}

= \frac{2 5 - 5}{4}

= \frac{\frac{2 5 - 5}{4}}{2}

Simplify

\frac{\frac{2 5 - 5}{4}}{2} : \frac{2 5 - 5}{8}

\frac{\frac{2 5 - 5}{4}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{2 5 - 5}{4 \cdot 2}

4 \cdot 2 = 8

= \frac{2 5 - 5}{8}

= \frac{2 5 - 5}{8}
