-3cos^2(pi)

Solution

- 3 cos^{2} (π)

Solution

- 3

Solution steps

- 3 cos^{2} (π)

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (π) = (- 1)

cos (π)

cos (x)

periodicity table with

2 πn

cycle:

x 0 \frac{π}{6} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{2} \frac{2 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{4} \frac{5 π}{6} cos (x) 1 \frac{3}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{1}{2} 0 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} x π \frac{7 π}{6} \frac{5 π}{4} \frac{4 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{2} \frac{5 π}{3} \frac{7 π}{4} \frac{11 π}{6} cos (x) - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2}

= (- 1)

= - 3 (- 1)^{2}

Simplify

- 3 (- 1)^{2} : - 3

- 3 (- 1)^{2}

(- 1)^{2} = 1

(- 1)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

if

n

is even

(- 1)^{2} = 1^{2}

= 1^{2}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

= 1

= - 3 \cdot 1

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 1 = 3

= - 3

= - 3
