Find the values of the following trigonometric ratio : cos (19π/4)
Question Find the value of the following trigonometric ratio : \[ \cos\left(\frac{19\pi}{4}\right) \] Solution \[ \cos\left(\frac{19\pi}{4}\right) = \cos\left(\frac{19\pi}{4}-4\pi\right) \] \[ = \cos\frac{3\pi}{4} \] \[ = \cos\left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \] Using, \[ \cos(\pi-\theta)=-\cos\theta \] \[ = -\cos\frac{\pi}{4} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt2} = -\frac{\sqrt2}{2} \] Answer : \[ \boxed{ \cos\left(\frac{19\pi}{4}\right) = -\frac{\sqrt2}{2} } \] Next Question / Full Chapter
