Cosine Pi/8 cannot exceed 1 and would be positive, is that your result ???

OpenStudy (radar):

OpenStudy (elusive):

i dont know how to proceed

OpenStudy (radar):

Is your result plus or minus \[\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}\]

OpenStudy (radar):

If it is that would be a value of 1.85 which is larger than 1 and impossible as a cosine function ranges from 0 to 1 or 0 to -1.

OpenStudy (radar):

Also from the link, I can not determine what the actual problem is???

OpenStudy (radar):

The cosine of pi/8 which is cos 22.5 degree would be 0.924
