Find the Exact Value cos(2/5)
Problem
Solution
Identify the expression as the cosine of a constant value given in radians.
Determine if the value corresponds to a standard angle on the unit circle. The value
2/5 is approximately0.4 radians, which is not a standard multiple ofπ (such asπ/6 π/4 orπ/3 .Conclude that since the input is not a standard trigonometric angle and no further algebraic context is provided, the exact value is represented by the expression itself.
