cos((2pi)/6)

cos (\frac{2 π}{6})

\frac{1}{2}

Decimal Notation

0.5

Solution steps

cos (\frac{2 π}{6})

Simplify:

\frac{2 π}{6} = \frac{π}{3}

\frac{2 π}{6}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{π}{3}

= cos (\frac{π}{3})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{π}{3}) = \frac{1}{2}

cos (\frac{π}{3})

cos (x)
