Help please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug in pi/16 for x and see if it equals 0

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

so I would plug it in like this 2cos^(4*pi/16) ? or instead of pi 3.14?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2\cos ^{2}(4(\pi/16))-1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.14 will also work instead of pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you get an answer?

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

yeah, it came out as 0.2701511529340699

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it should be 0

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

I used a scientific calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the pi symbol instead of 3.14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and make sure your calculator is in radian mode

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

I typed in this 2cos2(4(π/16))−1

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

Ignore the question marks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i'm not sure, but i got 0 when i did the calculation which means the answer is true

OpenStudy (ohohaye):

ok, thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem
