Algebra.Com's Answer #173862 by Alan3354(69443) You can put this solution on YOUR website! cos 33pi\4. \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "32pi/4 = 8pi which is 4 revolutions. Subtract that. \n" ); document.write( "--> cos(pi/4) = sqrt(2)/2 \n" ); document.write( "I didn't use a calculator, I know that one. \n" ); document.write( "It's 1/8 of a revolution, or 45º. \n" ); document.write( "If you plot it on a unit circle, x and y are equal, and r is x*sqrt(2) \n" ); document.write( "cos = x/r = sqrt(2)/2 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
