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 the sin of pi divided by 3?
The question is ambiguous and the two possible answers are: sin(pi)/3 = 0 and sin(pi/3) = sqrt(3)/2 It is assumed, of course, that since the angles are given in terms of pi, they are measured in radians and not degrees!
Why does sin 2pi over 6 radians equal .5?
Sin(2*pi/6) = sin(pi/3) which, by definition, is 0.5 If you wish, you can calculate y/1! - y^3/3! + y^5/5! - y^7/7! + ... where y = pi/3.
What is the sin of pi?
sin(pi) = 0
What is the sin of pi divided by 2?
Do you mean Sin(pi/2) = 1 or [Sin(pi)] /2 = 0.0274....
