Given:

To find:
The exact value of cos 15°.
Solution:

Using half-angle identity:


Using the trigonometric identity: 

Let us first solve the fraction in the numerator.

Using fraction rule: 

Apply radical rule: ![\sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt[n]{a}}{\sqrt[n]{b}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7Ba%7D%7Bb%7D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Ba%7D%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bb%7D%7D)

Using
:


2-2=0
5-3=2
so the answer is o over 2 aka 0/2
The answer is 0.382 a liter
