Find the Exact Value cos(3/7)
Problem
Solution
Identify the expression as the cosine of a constant value given in radians.
Determine if the angle
3/7 corresponds to a standard reference angle (such asπ/6 π/4 orπ/3 .Observe that
3/7 is not a standard multiple ofπ and cannot be simplified further into a more basic exact radical form using standard trigonometric identities.Conclude that the exact value is represented by the expression itself.
