use the identity :
2 cosAcosB = cos(A+B) + cos(A-B)

thanks! @RadEn
OpenStudy (raden):
yw

OpenStudy (raden):
so, what ur answer --"
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well I think I got it. isn't is Cos(75+15) + Cos(75-15) which is Cos (90) + Cos (60)
OpenStudy (raden):
then, final answer is ...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Cos (90) =0 and Cos (60) = 1/2 so 0 +1/2 = 1/2
OpenStudy (raden):
good,
but still incorrect, hihik :P

What am I doing wrong? :O
OpenStudy (raden):
the final answer should be 5/2 :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5cos(75 + 15) + 5 cos(75 - 15)
the terms 5sin75sin15 -5sin75sin15 = 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hmmmm. i'm still not getting that
OpenStudy (raden):
10 cos 75° cos 15°
= 5 (2 cos 75° cos 15°)
= 5 (you have already got this above)
= 5 (1/2)
= 5/2
hehe :)
