Find the exact value by using a half-angle formula. cos 75° = 2-√3

Answer:

\frac{\sqrt{2-\sqrt{3}}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

since 75 is half of 150, we can use the half angle formula of cos defined as: cos(\frac{\theta}{2}) = \sqrt{\frac{1+cos(\theta)}{2}}\\ where theta=150

So plugging in the values we get:

cos(75) = \sqrt{\frac{1+cos(150)}{2}}

Now using the unit circle, we can solve for cos(150)

cos(75) = \sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}\\

Now multiply the 1 by 2/2 to combine the numerator into one fraction

cos(75) = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{2}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}\\

Combine the numerator into one fraction

cos(75) = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}\\

Keep, change, flip

cos(75) = \sqrt{\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{2}*\frac{1}{2}}

Multiply:
cos(75) = \sqrt{\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{4}

We can distribute the square root across the division:

\frac{\sqrt{2-\sqrt{3}}}{\sqrt{4}}

Simplify the denominator

\frac{\sqrt{2-\sqrt{3}}}{2}

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>8).</em></u>  \left \{ {{4x+3y=1} \atop {x+y=2}} \right.

<em>(2)</em> × [ - 3 ]

4x + 3y = 1 ........ <em>(3)</em>

- 3x - 3y = - 6 .... <em>(4)</em>

<em>(3)</em> + <em>(4)</em>

x = - 5

- 5 + y = 2 ⇒ y = 7

<em>( - 5 , 7 )</em>

<u><em>9).</em></u> \left \{ {{-9x+3y=18} \atop {2x+y=-4}} \right.

<em>(1)</em> ÷ [- 3]

3x - y = - 6  ......... <em>(3)</em>

2x + y = - 4 ........ <em>(4)</em>

<em>(3)</em> + <em>(4)</em>

5x = - 10 ⇒ x = - 2

2(- 2) + y = - 4 ⇒ y = 0

<em>(- 2, 0)</em>

<u><em>10).</em></u> \left \{ {{x-2y=14} \atop {10x-6y=0}} \right.

<em>(2)</em> ÷ 10

x - 0.6y = 0 ⇒ x = 0.6y -----> <em>(1)</em>

0.6y - 2y = 14

- 1.4y = 14

y = - 10

x - 2(- 10) = 14 ⇒ x = - 6

<em>(- 6, - 10)</em>

Now is your turn, you can do it!!
