(Assuming 100 is 100 degrees)
cos 100 degrees is equal to - sin 10 degrees.
In radians, this is - sin (pi/18).
Approximating pi as 22/7, this is - sin (11/63)
Using four terms of a Taylor series, this is approximately:
- (11/63) + (11/63)^3 /6 - (11/63)^5 / 120 + (11/63)^7 / 5040.
- (11/63) + (11^3/63^3) /6 - (11^5/63^5) / 120 + (11^7/63^7) / 5040.
Rewriting the fractions with the common denominator 63^7:
- (11*63^6/63^7) + (11^3*63^4/63^7) /6 - (11^5*63^2/63^7) / 120 + (11^7/63^7) / 5040.
Rewriting again with common denominators of 5040:
- 5040*(11*63^6/63^7)/5040 + 840*(11^3*63^4/63^7)/5040 - 42*(11^5*63^2/63^7) / 5040 + (11^7/63^7) / 5040.
Now add it all up:
[- 5040*11*63^6 + 840*11^3*63^4 - 42*11^5*63^2 + 11^7] / (5040*63^7)
Now, some seriously long multiplication gives:
(- 3466302962466960 + 17612440516440 - 26846879598 + 19487171) / 19852462421401680
Some really easy addition:
-3448717349342947 / 19852462421401680
And finally, do the long division:
-0.17371735939 ... and so on.
The actual value is -0.17364817766693034885171662676931
So, I got 3 decimal places right. Maybe use a better approximation of pi (like 355/113) and more terms of the Taylor series. But you get the picture.

What is cosine of 23 degree angle?
This can be done on a graphing calculator by making sure you have your calculator in degrees mode, and then tentering the cos(23). You get an answer of 0.9205048535.
If cos and theta 0.65 what is the value of sin and theta?
You can use the Pythagorean identity to solve this:(sin theta) squared + (cos theta) squared = 1.
How do you solve double angle equations for trigonometry?
There are two ways to solve for the double angle formulas in trigonometry. The first is to use the angle addition formulas for sine and cosine. * sin(a + b) = sin(a)cos(b) + cos(a)sin(b) * cos(a + b) = cos(a)cos(b) - sin(a)sin(b) if a = b, then * sin(2a) = sin(a)cos(a) + cos(a)sin(a) = 2sin(a)cos(a) * cos(2a) = cos2(a) - sin2(b) The cooler way to solve for the double angle formulas is to use Euler's identity. eix = cos(x) + i*sin(x). Yes, that is "i" as in imaginary number. we we put 2x in for x, we get * e2ix = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) This is the same as * (eix)2 = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) We can substitute our original equation back in for eix. * (cos(x) + i*sin(x))2 = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) We can distribute the squared term. * cos2(x) + i*sin(x)cos(x) + i*sin(x)cos(x) + (i*sin(x))2 = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) And simplify. Because i is SQRT(-1), the i squared term becomes negative. * cos2(x) + 2i*sin(x)cos(x) - sin2(x) = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) * cos2(x) - sin2(x) + 2i*sin(x)cos(x) = cos(2x) + i*sin(2x) Now you can plainly see both formulas in the equation arranged quite nicely. I don't yet know how to get rid of the i, but I'm working on it.
What is a good calculator for trigonometry?
Any calculator sold as a "scientific calculator" has the basic trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tan) and the inverse trigonometric functions (arc-sin, arc-cos, arc-tan). That's about all you need.You can also use the calculator that comes on your computer - for example, in Windows, press Windows-R, and then type "calc". You may have to change the calculator mode, to "scientific calculator". Yet another option is a spreadsheet, for example, Excel. Note that in Excel, angles are expressed in radians; if you want degrees, you also need the special functions to convert degrees to radians, or radians to degrees. However, if you want to do your homework while you are NOT at your computer, you are better off buying a calculator.
If a cos theta plus b sin theta equals 8 and a sin theta - b cos theta equals 5 show that a squared plus b squared equals 89?
There is a hint to how to solve this in what is required to be shown: a and b are both squared.Ifa cos θ + b sin θ = 8a sin θ - b cos θ = 5then square both sides of each to get:a² cos² θ + 2ab cos θ sin θ + b² sin² θ = 64a² sin² θ - 2ab sin θ cos θ + b² cos² θ = 25Now add the two together:a² cos² θ + a² sin² θ + b² sin² θ + b² cos² θ = 89→ a²(cos² θ + sin² θ) + b² (sin² θ + cos² θ) = 89using cos² θ + sin² θ = 1→ a² + b² = 89
How do you solve the equation negative 3 cos t equals 1 in the interval from 0 to 2 pi?
Isolate cos (t): cos(t)=1/3. Use a calculator from here because the answer is not an integer or a simple number.

How do you enter cosign on a scientific calculator?
Press the button labeled "COS"
What button on the graphing calculator is arc cos?
It is usually [Shift] [cos] though on some calculators it may be [2ndF] [cos] The arc cos function is often written as cos-1 or acos, and on most calculators is written above the button to press; the colour of the text used to write it usually matches up with the key needed to press before the cos button. On Casio calculators, it is [shift][cos] with the shift key labelled in yellow, and cos-1 written in yellow. On a Texas Instruments calculator it is [2nd] [cos] with the 2nd key labelled in blue and the cos-1 written in blue. On a Hewlett Packard calculator it is [<up_arrow_pointing_left>][cos] with the up_arrow_pointing left a white key with a black arrow and ACOS written in white above the cos button.
