What is the value of cosine (startfraction 4 pi over 3 endfraction)? negative startfraction startroot 3 endroot over 2 endfraction negative one-half one-half startfraction startroot 3 endroot over 2 endfraction

Respuesta :

The value of Cos(4π/3) is (-1/2) i.e., negative one half.

The given function is Cosine (Start fraction 4 pi over 3 end fraction) and this can be written simply as,

Cos(4π/3)

On splitting 4π/3 in two parts, this can also be written as

= Cos(π + (π/3))

(π + (π/3)) lies in the third quadrant and in the third quadrant the value of cosine function is negative. So, using quadrant sign for cosine function, this can be written as

= -Cos(π/3)

Now, Substitute the value of Cos(π/3) = 1/2.

= (-1/2)

Cos(4π/3) = (-1/2)

The value of Cos(4π/3) is (-1/2) i.e., negative one half.
