Find a cofunction with the same value as the given expression.
cos (3𝜋/8)

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Recall the cofunction identity for cosine and sine: \(\cos(\theta) = \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta\right)\).
Identify the angle \(\theta\) in the given expression, which is \(\frac{3\pi}{8}\).
Substitute \(\theta = \frac{3\pi}{8}\) into the cofunction identity to get \(\cos\left(\frac{3\pi}{8}\right) = \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{3\pi}{8}\right)\).
Simplify the expression inside the sine function: \(\frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{3\pi}{8} = \frac{4\pi}{8} - \frac{3\pi}{8} = \frac{\pi}{8}\).
Write the final cofunction expression: \(\cos\left(\frac{3\pi}{8}\right) = \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)\).

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Cofunction Identities

Cofunction identities relate the trigonometric functions of complementary angles, such as sin(θ) = cos(π/2 - θ). These identities allow us to express one trigonometric function in terms of another by using the complementary angle, which is essential for finding equivalent expressions.

Complementary Angles

Complementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to π/2 radians (90 degrees). Understanding this concept is crucial because cofunction identities depend on the relationship between an angle and its complement to simplify or rewrite trigonometric expressions.

Evaluating Trigonometric Expressions in Radians

Trigonometric functions often use radian measure, where π radians equal 180 degrees. Being comfortable converting and interpreting angles in radians, such as 3π/8, helps in applying identities and finding equivalent expressions accurately.
