Explain how to find the exact value of cos(75°).

1 answer:

4 0

Answer:

$\cos(75 \degree) = \cos(45 \degree + 30\degree) \\ \\ = \cos(45\degree) \cos(30\degree) - \sin(45\degree) \sin(30\degree) \\ \\ = ( \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} } ).( \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} ) - ( \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} } ).( \frac{1}{2} ) \\ \\ = \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2 \sqrt{2} } - \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2} } \\ \\ = \frac{ \sqrt{3} - 1}{2 \sqrt{2} } \\ \\ = \frac{0.73205}{2.828427} \\ \\ = 0.2588$

Which of the following is a solution to 2sin^(2)x+sinx-1=0

lukranit [14]

Hello,

$2*sin^2(x)+sin(x)-1=0\\\Delta=1+4*2*1=9=3^2\\sin^2(x)=\frac{-1-3}{4} =-1\ (impossible)\\or\\sin^2(x)=\frac{-1+3}{4} =\dfrac{1}{2}\\sin(x)=\dfrac{\sqrt{2} }{2} \Longrightarrow (x=45^o\ or\ x=135^o)\\or\\sin(x)=-\dfrac{\sqrt{2} }{2} \Longrightarrow (x=315^o\ or\ x=225^o)\\$
