  • 👉 Learn how to evaluate the cosine of an angle in radians using the sum/difference formulas. To do this, we first express the given angle as a sum or a difference of two (easy to evaluate) angles, then we use the unit circle and the Pythagoras theorem to identify the angles and obtain all the needed trigonometric function values of the angles. When we know the trigonometric function values of the two angles to be added or subtracted, we can apply the sum and difference formulas to evaluate the cosine of the given angle.

      great point, I always welcome questions from students, not sure the context of this lesson or question. Sometimes when I notice students not paying attention but then asking questions when everyone else was paying attention knows, I get frustrated. Not sure if that was the case, or I could have just had a bad day.

    For anyone wondering how he got the (pi/3 + pi/4)
    How I got it is pick a point on the unit circle, such as pi/3 or pi/4 (it helps to memorize the unit circle) and minus that by 7pi/12.
    So I'll pick pi/4 because from memorizing the unit circle I know that we can subtract and get the 2nd value
    1.) 7pi/12 - pi/4
    1a.) pi/4 -> becomes 3pi/12 we need equal denominators to subtract from 7pi/12
    2.) 7pi/12 - 3pi/12 = 4pi/12
    2a.) simply 4pi/12 and you get pi/3
    3.) you can verify that the values
    pi/4 pi/3 and by adding both and you will get 7pi/12
    I appreciate brian Logan saying not to worry about getting the 2 sums or difference to get the ball rolling but eventually this will catch up with you and you will have a gap in your knowledge. I can't think intuitively like that in math so I find this sort of algorithmic way to find the values.

  • @sadiaaa1373
    @sadiaaa1373 Před rokem

    Heres an easy way to find the two additions if you have to:
    If you had 7pi/12 like in this example, just do
    Api/12 + Bpi/12 = 7pi/12
    You have to find numbers that are divisible by 12 that also add upto 7, so its a bit of mental math here but its never too bad
    I know 2pi/12 and 5pi/12 add upto 7pi/12 but 5pi/12 *isnt divisible by 12* so dont use that pair.
    I know that 3pi/12 and 4pi/12 equal 7 and both numbers are also divisible by 12 so it works.
    Simplify and you get pi/4 and pi/3 which are your special triangles and useful for finding exact values
