cos(-(95pi)/4)

cos (- \frac{95 π}{4})

\frac{2}{2}

Decimal

0.70710 \dots

Solution steps

cos (- \frac{95 π}{4})

Use the following property:

cos (- x) = cos (x)

cos (- \frac{95 π}{4}) = cos (\frac{95 π}{4})

= cos (\frac{95 π}{4})

cos (\frac{95 π}{4}) = cos (\frac{7 π}{4})

cos (\frac{95 π}{4})

Rewrite

\frac{95 π}{4}

2 π \cdot 11 + \frac{7 π}{4}

= cos (2 π 11 + \frac{7 π}{4})

Apply the periodicity of

cos

cos (x + 2 π \cdot k) = cos (x)

cos (2 π \cdot 11 + \frac{7 π}{4}) = cos (\frac{7 π}{4})

= cos (\frac{7 π}{4})

= cos (\frac{7 π}{4})

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (π) cos (\frac{3 π}{4}) - sin (π) sin (\frac{3 π}{4})

cos (\frac{7 π}{4})

Write

cos (\frac{7 π}{4})

cos (π + \frac{3 π}{4})

= cos (π + \frac{3 π}{4})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

cos (s + t) = cos (s) cos (t) - sin (s) sin (t)

= cos (π) cos (\frac{3 π}{4}) - sin (π) sin (\frac{3 π}{4})

= cos (π) cos (\frac{3 π}{4}) - sin (π) sin (\frac{3 π}{4})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (π) = (- 1)

cos (π)
