Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the given information: \(\cos \alpha = \frac{8}{17}\) with \(\alpha\) in quadrant IV, and \(\sin \beta = -\frac{1}{2}\) with \(\beta\) in quadrant III.
Determine \(\sin \alpha\) using the Pythagorean identity \(\sin^2 \alpha + \cos^2 \alpha = 1\). Since \(\cos \alpha = \frac{8}{17}\), calculate \(\sin \alpha = \pm \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{8}{17}\right)^2}\). Because \(\alpha\) is in quadrant IV, where sine is negative, choose the negative root.
Determine \(\cos \beta\) using the Pythagorean identity \(\sin^2 \beta + \cos^2 \beta = 1\). Since \(\sin \beta = -\frac{1}{2}\), calculate \(\cos \beta = \pm \sqrt{1 - \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^2}\). Because \(\beta\) is in quadrant III, where cosine is negative, choose the negative root.
Use the cosine addition formula: \(\cos(\alpha + \beta) = \cos \alpha \cos \beta - \sin \alpha \sin \beta\).
Substitute the values of \(\cos \alpha\), \(\cos \beta\), \(\sin \alpha\), and \(\sin \beta\) into the formula and simplify to find the exact value of \(\cos(\alpha + \beta)\).

Sum of Angles Formula for Cosine
The sum of angles formula states that cos(α + β) = cos α cos β − sin α sin β. This identity allows us to find the cosine of the sum of two angles using the sines and cosines of the individual angles, which is essential for solving the problem.

Determining Sine and Cosine Values from Quadrants
Knowing the quadrant in which an angle lies helps determine the sign of its sine and cosine values. For example, in quadrant IV, cosine is positive and sine is negative; in quadrant III, both sine and cosine are negative. This is crucial for correctly assigning signs to trigonometric values.
