Find the exact value of cos(7\pi /12)

7π/12 lies in the second quadrant, so we expect cos(7π/12) to be negative.

Recall that

\cos^2x=\dfrac{1+\cos(2x)}2

which tells us

\cos\left(\dfrac{7\pi}{12}\right)=-\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\cos\left(\frac{7\pi}6\right)}2}

Now,

\cos\left(\dfrac{7\pi}6\right)=-\cos\left(\dfrac\pi6\right)=-\dfrac{\sqrt3}2

and so

\cos\left(\dfrac{7\pi}{12}\right)=-\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\frac{\sqrt3}2}2}=\boxed{-\dfrac{\sqrt{2-\sqrt3}}2}
