OpenStudy (anonymous):

first I think it is 4/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i also got a different answer. cos(pi/2) is 0 sin(pi/2) is 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would cancel out the cos(pi/2) first then distribute and apply sin(pi/2) = 1 to get your simplified answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but doesnt 2pi/3 - pi/2 = pi/6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is correct. I don't know where you subtract in this problem tho.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh im sorry i meant to post the same exact question but it was in division

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got \[2(i \cos \frac{ 2\pi }{ 3 }+\sin \frac{ 2\pi }{ 3 })\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok. repost and I'll recheck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same answer right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'll be back in 20. but redo it because 1/2 divided by 4 is 1/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/8(cos pi/6 + i sin pi/6)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you convert the trig function to the value in radians in order to get the soln

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my answer should be in that format.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess my question is... Is the a certain way we r supposed to solve this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its not for solving but more as simplifying it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got \[-\frac{ \sin \frac{ 2\pi }{ 3 } }{ 16 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos pi/2 = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin pi/2 = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you have 1/2 (cos 2pi/3 + i sin 2pi/3) over 4 i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ -\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } +isin \frac{ 2\pi }{ 3 }}{ 8i }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hopefully you see this because I brought the -1/2 down and you are not allowed to.
