sin(225)*cos(300)

Solution

sin (22 5^{\circ}) \cdot cos (30 0^{\circ})

Solution

- \frac{2}{4}

Decimal Notation

- 0.35355 \dots

Solution steps

sin (22 5^{\circ}) cos (30 0^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (30 0^{\circ}) = 1 - 2 sin^{2} (15 0^{\circ})

cos (30 0^{\circ})

Write

cos (30 0^{\circ})

cos (2 \cdot 15 0^{\circ})

= cos (2 \cdot 15 0^{\circ})

Use the Double Angle identity:

cos (2 x) = 1 - 2 sin^{2} (x)

= 1 - 2 sin^{2} (15 0^{\circ})

= sin (22 5^{\circ}) (1 - 2 sin^{2} (15 0^{\circ}))

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (22 5^{\circ}) = - \frac{2}{2}

sin (22 5^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (18 0^{\circ}) cos (4 5^{\circ}) + cos (18 0^{\circ}) sin (4 5^{\circ})

sin (22 5^{\circ})

Write

sin (22 5^{\circ})

sin (18 0^{\circ} + 4 5^{\circ})

= sin (18 0^{\circ} + 4 5^{\circ})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

sin (s + t) = sin (s) cos (t) + cos (s) sin (t)

= sin (18 0^{\circ}) cos (4 5^{\circ}) + cos (18 0^{\circ}) sin (4 5^{\circ})

= sin (18 0^{\circ}) cos (4 5^{\circ}) + cos (18 0^{\circ}) sin (4 5^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (18 0^{\circ}) = 0

= \frac{1}{2}

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

Simplify

(- \frac{2}{2}) (1 - 2 (\frac{1}{2})^{2}) : - \frac{2}{4}

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

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

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

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

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

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

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

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

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 2 = 2

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

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{1}{2}

= - \frac{2}{2} (- \frac{1}{2} + 1)

Join

1 - \frac{1}{2} : \frac{1}{2}

1 - \frac{1}{2}

Convert element to fraction:

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

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

1 \cdot 2 - 1 = 1

1 \cdot 2 - 1

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 2 = 2

= 2 - 1

Subtract the numbers:

2 - 1 = 1

= 1

= \frac{1}{2}

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

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Multiply:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= - \frac{2}{4}

= - \frac{2}{4}
