Come valuta cos(π8)?

Risposta:

cos(π8)=12+24

Spiegazione:

Use the double-angle formula for cos(x) :
cos(2x)=2cos2(x)1
cos(x)=±1+cos(2x)2
Now fill in x = π8
cos(π8)=±1+cos(π4)2
cos(π8)=1+222
cos(π8)=12+24

Remarks :
1) cos(π4)=sin(π4)=22 is a known value
because sin(x)=cos(π2x), so
sin(π4)=cos(π4) and sin2(x)+cos2(x)=1
2cos2(π4)=1cos(π4)=12=22.
2) because π8 lies in the first quadrant, cos(π8)>0, so
we need to take the solution with the + sign.
