Write the expression as a trigonometric function of one number.
(cos 20 degrees)(cos 70 degrees)+(sin 20 degrees)(sin 70 degrees)
Answered by Reiny
Have you come across the identity

cos(A-B) = cosAcoB + sinAsinB ?

your question fits that pattern perfectly.

Let me know what you get.
Answered by Kayla
ok I made a mistake in the formula. it's cos(20 degrees)cos(70 degrees)- sin(20 degrees) sin(70 degrees).

so it's a subraction equation not an addition.
Answered by Reiny
and of course there is the matching formula for

cos(A+B) = cosAcosB - sinAsinB

So what do you think?
Answered by Kayla
so it would be cos(20+70)?
Answered by Kayla
cos(20 degrees+70 degrees) i mean
Answered by Reiny
yes, but what is cos(20° + 70°) ??
= cos 90°
= 0

so your
cos(20 degrees)cos(70 degrees)- sin(20 degrees) sin(70 degrees)
= 0
Answered by Kayla
Yeah I got the exact value I just needed it in trigonometric function of one number which would be the degrees of cos.

Thanks!!!
