if sin π/3 = √3\2
Cos π/3 = 1/2
Sin π/4 = cos π/4 =√2/2
Evaluate without the use of an calculator the exact value of cos 7π/12
-----
Note:: 7pi/12 = 3pi/12 + 4pi/12 = pi/4 + pi/3
----------
Your Problem::
cos(7pi/12) = cos[(pi/4)+(pi/3)]
-------
= cos(pi/4)cos(pi/3)-sin(pi/4)sin(pi/3)
------
= (1/sqrt(2))(1/2) - (1/sqrt(2))sqrt(3)/2
------
= [sqrt(2)/4] - [sqrt(6)/4]
------
= [sqrt(2) - sqrt(6)]/4
-------------------------
