Sin(13π/8) , is in quadrant IV so the angle will be negative, find the reference angle.
<span>sin(13π/8) = -sin(16π/8 - 13π/8) = -sin(3π/8) = -cos(4π/8 - 3π/8) = - cos(π/8). </span>
<span>Use half angle formula for cos(x): </span>
<span>cos²(x/2) = (cos(x) + 1) / 2 </span>
<span>Let x = π/4 </span>
<span>cos²(π/8) = (cos(π/4) + 1) / 2 </span>
<span>cos²(π/8) = (√(2) / 2 + 1) / 2 </span>
<span>cos(π/8) = √(√(2) / 4 + 1/2) </span>
<span>-cos(π/8) = -√((√(2) + 2) / 4)</span>
8x^2 +-26x+21 the symbol ^2 means to the power so when you write down it should be 8x to the power of 2 or exponent 2.
