note that 5π /4 is in the third quadrant where the cos is negative

the related acute angle to 5π /4 is π/4, thus

cos( 5π /4 ) = - cos (π/4 ) = - √2/2

We can also evaluate using the addition formula for cosine

• cos (x + y ) = cosxcosy - sinxsiny

note that 5π /4 = (π + π/4 )

cos(5π /4 ) = cos (π + π/4 )

= cos(π)cos(π/4) - sin(π)sin(π/4)

= - 1 √2/2 - 0 = - √2/2

Her sister invited 22 guests. What you have to do to solve this problem is subtract 41-19. We have to do this because Rayliegh invited 19 more people than her sister, but invited a total of 41 people herself. So, to figure out how many people her sister invited we have to know that Rayliegh invited 19 more people and we have to subtract that from the total number she invited to get how many people her sister invited: 22 guests. Can you make me brainliest?
