cos^{2} (13 5^{\circ})

\frac{1}{2}

Decimal Notation

0.5

Solution steps

cos^{2} (13 5^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (13 5^{\circ}) = - \frac{2}{2}

cos (13 5^{\circ})

cos (x)

periodicity table with

36 0^{\circ} n

cycle:

x 0 3 0^{\circ} 4 5^{\circ} 6 0^{\circ} 9 0^{\circ} 12 0^{\circ} 13 5^{\circ} 15 0^{\circ} cos (x) 1 \frac{3}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{1}{2} 0 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} x 18 0^{\circ} 21 0^{\circ} 22 5^{\circ} 24 0^{\circ} 27 0^{\circ} 30 0^{\circ} 31 5^{\circ} 33 0^{\circ} cos (x) - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2}

= - \frac{2}{2}

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

Simplify

(- \frac{2}{2})^{2} : \frac{1}{2}

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

(2)^{2} : 2

Apply radical rule:

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

= 2^{\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

= 2

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

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{1}{2}
