cos(pi/2*2)

Solution

cos (\frac{π}{2} \cdot 2)

Solution

- 1

Solution steps

cos (\frac{π}{2} \cdot 2)

Simplify:

\frac{π}{2} \cdot 2 = π

\frac{π}{2} \cdot 2

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{π 2}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= π

= cos (π)

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (π) = (- 1)
