cos x/2=sqrt 2/2

I'll tell you about one value because this is a very basic trigonometry question. cos x/2 = sqrt 2/2 = 1/ sqrt 2 = cos 45 Equate x/2 = 45 As their cosines are equal! :D Understood? :)

thanks

OpenStudy (raden):

use the identity : cos(x/2) = sqrt( (cosx + 1)/2 )

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

Another angle is cos -45, which is in the fourth quadrant.

@RadEn , I don't think we NEED to use that. When we are given the direct trigonometric ratios.

just alternative
