Use even and odd properties of the trigometric function to find the exact value of the cos (-150 degrees) what are the steps for this?
no i dont
hmm well its even so cos(-x) = cos(x)
do you know cos(150)?
this should be given on a unit circle
no. all i had was cos(-150) cos 150 degrees
but i dont know where to go from here
well this is just a angle you should have memorized
-sqrt(3)/2
what angle i should memorize?
30 45 60 90 120 135 180 210 225 240 270 300 315 330
you will notice that out of all these angles then numbers that go with them are 0,1,sqrt(2)/2,1/2, and sqrt(3)/2
so its not as bad as it looks, really if you get the first 4, the other are easy...
Ohhhhh i see what you mean.. learn them.
memorise them
i will make sure learn em*
this will make it easy
