Miley’s music has a sale on music CDs. All music CDs are discounted 15%. Mariana’s receipt indicates that she saved $3 on her CD

Tcecarenko [31]

she saved $3, and we know the discount is 15%, so her savings is that 15%, thus we know 15% of that purchase is 3.

let's say the full price is x, and therefore the 100%, if we know 3 is the 15%, what is x?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 3&15\\ x&100 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{3}{x}=\cfrac{15}{100}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 100}{15}=x\implies 20=x$

Find the exact value of cos 157.5°.

Nonamiya [84]

Cos 157.5º=-cos (180º-157.5º)=-cos 22.5=-cos(45/2)

cos Ф/2=⁺₋√((1+cosФ)/2).

In this case 157.5º is in the second quadrant, therefore we use the following equation:
cos Ф/2=-√((1+cosФ)/2). (we will have a negative number)

cos 157.5º=-cos (45/2)=-√((1+cos 45º)/2)
=-√((1+√2/2)/2)
=-√((2+√2)/4)
=-√(2+√2) / 2 (≈-0.92387...)

Answer: cos 157.5º= -√(2+√2) / 2
