What is the exact value using a sum or difference formula of the expression cos 11pi over 12?

11pi/12 = pi - pi/12 cos(11pi/12) = cos(pi - pi/12) cos(a-b) = cos(a)cos(b)+sin(a)sin(b) cos(pi -pi/12) = cos(pi)cos(pi/12) + sin(pi)sin(pi/12) sin(pi)=0 cos(pi)=-1 Therefore, cos(pi -pi/12) = -cos(pi/12) pi/12=pi/3 -pi/4 cos(pi/12) = cos(pi/3 - pi/4) = cos(pi/3)cos(pi/4)+sin(pi/3) sin(pi/4) cos(pi/3)=1/2 sin(pi/3)=sqrt(3)/2 cos(pi/4)= sqrt(2)/2 sin(pi/4) = sqrt(2)/2 cos(pi/3)cos(pi/4)+sin(pi/3) sin(pi/4) = (1/2)(sqrt(2)/2 ) + (sqrt(3)/2)( sqrt(2)/2) = sqrt(2)/4 + sqrt(6) /4 = [sqrt(2)+sqrt(6)] /4 Therefore, cos(pi/12) = (sqrt(2)+sqrt(6))/4 -cos(pi/12) = -(sqrt(2)+sqrt(6))/4 cos(11pi/12) = -(sqrt(2)+sqrt(6))/4


What is sin23A minus sin7A upon sin2A plus sin14A if A equals pi upon 21?

Using the identity, sin(X)+sin(Y) = 2*sin[(x+y)/2]*cos[(x-y)/2] the expression becomes {2*sin[(23A-7A)/2]*cos[(23A+7A)/2]}/{2*sin[(2A+14A)/2]*cos[(2A-14A)/2]} = {2*sin(8A)*cos(15A)}/{2*sin(8A)*cos(-6A)} = cos(15A)/cos(-6A)} = cos(15A)/cos(6A)} since cos(-x) = cos(x) When A = pi/21, 15A = 15*pi/21 and 6A = 6*pi/21 = pi - 15pi/21 Therefore, cos(6A) = - cos(15A) and hence the expression = -1.


What is x equals y squared over co sign times pi?

Either you mean "cos(x) multiplied by pi", (i.e pi*cos(x)) or "cos(pi)" (i.e cosine of pi), but it is unclear which you mean from the question. Please clarify.


How was it determined that the tangent of pi divided by 4 is 1?

As tan(x)=sin(x)/cos(x) and sin(pi/4) = cos(pi/4) (= sqrt(2)/2) then tan(pi/4) = 1


What are the exact values of the sine and cosine functions of 2pi over 65537?

sin(2*pi/65537) = 0.0001 cos(2*pi/65537) = 1.0000 to 4 dp.
