cos((2pi)/3+(3pi)/4)

Solution

cos (\frac{2 π}{3} + \frac{3 π}{4})

Solution

\frac{2 - 6}{4}

Decimal Notation

- 0.25881 \dots

Solution steps

cos (\frac{2 π}{3} + \frac{3 π}{4})

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (\frac{3 π}{4}) cos (\frac{2 π}{3}) - sin (\frac{3 π}{4}) sin (\frac{2 π}{3})

cos (\frac{3 π}{4} + \frac{2 π}{3})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= cos (\frac{3 π}{4}) cos (\frac{2 π}{3}) - sin (\frac{3 π}{4}) sin (\frac{2 π}{3})

= cos (\frac{3 π}{4}) cos (\frac{2 π}{3}) - sin (\frac{3 π}{4}) sin (\frac{2 π}{3})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{3 π}{4}) = - \frac{2}{2}

cos (\frac{3 π}{4})

= \frac{3}{2}

= (- \frac{2}{2}) (- \frac{1}{2}) - \frac{2}{2} \cdot \frac{3}{2}

Simplify

(- \frac{2}{2}) (- \frac{1}{2}) - \frac{2}{2} \cdot \frac{3}{2} : \frac{2 - 6}{4}

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

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a, - (- a) = a

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

\frac{2}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4}

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

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Multiply:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{2}{4}

\frac{2}{2} \cdot \frac{3}{2} = \frac{6}{4}

\frac{2}{2} \cdot \frac{3}{2}

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{2 3}{4}

Simplify

23 : 6

23

Apply radical rule:

a b = a \cdot b

23 = 2 \cdot 3

= 2 \cdot 3

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 = 6

= 6

= \frac{6}{4}

= \frac{2}{4} - \frac{6}{4}

Apply rule

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

= \frac{2 - 6}{4}

= \frac{2 - 6}{4}
