Step-by-step explanation:

That is so because 1/3 is *not exactly equal to* 0.333333

0.333333 is an approximation of 1/3 which is correct to 6 decimal places.

So 0.333333 x 3 = 0.999999 which is approximately equal to 1.

If you want to be more accurate, you could write the fraction 1/3 everywhere and not write it in floating point form.

1/3 in floating point format will be 0.333333333…..and so on with infinite decimal places. This is because when you try to divide 1 by 3, you get a nonterminating recurring number after decimal point.

Its usually represented by a bar or dot on top of the recurring part

Ex. 1/3 = 0.3bar

(Sorry I can't get the bar on 3 by typing from keyboard)

But let's just say 0.3 bar is 0.333333…and so on to infinity.

When you multiply 0.3bar x 3 you get 0.9bar

= 0.999999….and so on to infinity.

These decimal point figures just a very great approximations of the fraction 1/3.

Hope this helps. Feel free to reply if you still have doubts.

Answer:
- 0.944

Step-by-step explanation:
We know that,
cos 3A = 4 cos³A - 3 cos A (formula)

So,
If cos A = 0.4,

cos 3A = 4 cos³A - 3 cos A
cos 3A = 4 × (0.4)³ - 3 × (0.4)
cos 3A = 4 × 0.064 - 1.2
cos 3A = - 0.944


Hope it helps ⚜

Its same as powers of a whole number.
Lets take example
