cos^2(330)

Solution

cos^{2} (33 0^{\circ})

Solution

\frac{3}{4}

Decimal Notation

0.75

Solution steps

cos^{2} (33 0^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (33 0^{\circ}) = \frac{3}{2}

cos (33 0^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (18 0^{\circ}) cos (15 0^{\circ}) - sin (18 0^{\circ}) sin (15 0^{\circ})

cos (33 0^{\circ})

Write

cos (33 0^{\circ})

cos (18 0^{\circ} + 15 0^{\circ})

= cos (18 0^{\circ} + 15 0^{\circ})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= cos (18 0^{\circ}) cos (15 0^{\circ}) - sin (18 0^{\circ}) sin (15 0^{\circ})

= cos (18 0^{\circ}) cos (15 0^{\circ}) - sin (18 0^{\circ}) sin (15 0^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (18 0^{\circ}) = (- 1)

cos (18 0^{\circ})

= \frac{1}{2}

= (- 1) (- \frac{3}{2}) - 0 \cdot \frac{1}{2}

Simplify

= \frac{3}{2}

= (\frac{3}{2})^{2}

Simplify

(\frac{3}{2})^{2} : \frac{3}{4}

(\frac{3}{2})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{( 3 ) ^{2}}{2 ^{2}}

(3)^{2} : 3

Apply radical rule:

a = a^{\frac{1}{2}}

= (3^{\frac{1}{2}})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}

= 3^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 = 1

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= 1

= 3

= \frac{3}{2 ^{2}}

2^{2} = 4

= \frac{3}{4}

= \frac{3}{4}
