cos(60)+sec(60)

cos (6 0^{\circ}) + sec (6 0^{\circ})

\frac{5}{2}

Decimal Notation

2.5

Solution steps

cos (6 0^{\circ}) + sec (6 0^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (6 0^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

cos (6 0^{\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{1}{2}

Use the following trivial identity:

sec (6 0^{\circ}) = 2

sec (6 0^{\circ})

sec (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} sec (x) 1 \frac{2 3}{3} 22 Undefined - 2 - 2 - \frac{2 3}{3} 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} sec (x) - 1 - \frac{2 3}{3} - 2 - 2 Undefined 22 \frac{2 3}{3}

= 2

= \frac{1}{2} + 2

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} + 2 : \frac{5}{2}

\frac{1}{2} + 2

Convert element to fraction:

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

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

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

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

2 \cdot 2 + 1 = 5

2 \cdot 2 + 1

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= 4 + 1

Add the numbers:

4 + 1 = 5

= 5

= \frac{5}{2}

= \frac{5}{2}

arccos (tan (\frac{π}{6}))

4 + 3 cos (\frac{π}{2})

sec (95.2 9^{\circ})

4 + 3 cos (- \frac{π}{4})

sin (- \frac{1}{4})
