I'm confused about how to get the answer of this question.
If cosө=0.2, find the value of:
cosө + cos(ө+2¡Ç) +sin(ө+4¡Ç)
If anyone can help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Some of your symbols didn't translate to ASCII so I'm not sure what the question is. You might need to type the symbols out; use pi for the Greek letter. For angles use A, B and C etc.
You need to tell us tell us what 2¡Ç is. Are you trying to type a Greek character pi? Is the j supposed to be sqrt (-1) ?
If ө is in the first quadrant, ө = 78.46 degrees and sin ө = 0.9798
There are trigonometric identities for sin (A+B) and cos (A+B) that you could use, once you know what 2¡Ç is.
To find the value of the expression cosө + cos(ө+2¡Ç) + sin(ө+4¡Ç), let's break it down step by step.
1. Start with the given information: cosө = 0.2
2. Find the value of sinө using the identity sin²ө + cos²ө = 1. Since we know cosө = 0.2, we can substitute that into the equation and solve for sinө:
sin²ө + (0.2)² = 1
sin²ө + 0.04 = 1
sin²ө = 0.96
sinө = √0.96 ≈ 0.9798
3. Now we can substitute the values of cosө and sinө into the given expression:
cosө + cos(ө+2¡Ç) + sin(ө+4¡Ç)
= 0.2 + cos(ө+2¡Ç) + sin(ө+4¡Ç)
4. To simplify further, we can use the trigonometric identity for cos(A+B) and sin(A+B):
cos(A+B) = cosA*cosB - sinA*sinB
sin(A+B) = sinA*cosB + cosA*sinB
5. Apply the identity to cos(ө+2¡Ç):
cos(ө+2¡Ç) = cosө*cos2¡Ç - sinө*sin2¡Ç
6. Apply the identity to sin(ө+4¡Ç):
sin(ө+4¡Ç) = sinө*cos4¡Ç + cosө*sin4¡Ç
7. Substitute the values of cosө and sinө, and simplify the expression:
0.2 + cosө*cos2¡Ç - sinө*sin2¡Ç + sinө*cos4¡Ç + cosө*sin4¡Ç
8. Finally, simplify and compute the value of the expression using the given information:
0.2 + (0.2*cos2¡Ç - 0.9798*sin2¡Ç) + (0.9798*cos4¡Ç + 0.2*sin4¡Ç)
