Assuming that u is in the interval (0,pi/2) and cos u=1/5 evaluate cos(u/2) Enter an exact answer=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me get my calc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thnaks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont think decimals work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got an aswer but i am not sure if that is what u want

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos^-1(1/5)=u u=78.4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos(78.4/2)=.77

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did u get what i did?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but i think it wants fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/sqrt(2) =.707

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it wants a fraction :( thanks anyway

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well it won't go into a fraction so i picked one that is simular

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk it just says its wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so let me play around

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did u try 1/sqrt2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nah didnt work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk i tried radians and in dgrees and i got similar answers that reused to go into a fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sqrt(2)/2 didnt work
