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.

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?

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.

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

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.
