Cos(-13pi/12)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you want to break this down into cos(a-b)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i cant work it out all the way but, here is a great start

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\cos(\frac{ -7\pi }{ 6}-\frac{ 3\pi }{ 6 })\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm, nm thats wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos(-3pi/12-5pi/6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ill check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you know the identity?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos(-pi/4-5pi/6) = cos(a-b) = cosa(cosb)+sina(sinb)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug those in and solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats how its done :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have to go, good luck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i do
