Question

Rewrite \sqrt((1+cos45)/(2)) using a half-angle identity

Answer 1

$\stackrel{\textit{Half-Angle Identities}}{cos\left(\cfrac{\theta}{2}\right)=\pm \sqrt{\cfrac{1+cos(\theta)}{2}}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \sqrt{\cfrac{1+cos(45^o)}{2}}~~ = ~~cos\left( \cfrac{45^o}{2} \right)\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{1+cos(45^o)}{2}}~~ = ~~cos(22.5^o)$
