Find the exact value of

  1. \(\cos \left(-150^{\circ}\right)\)   (1 mark)

    --- 3 WORK AREA LINES (style=lined) ---

  2. \(\sin \, 585^{\circ}\)   (1 mark)

a.    \(-\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)

b.    \(-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)

Show Worked Solution

a.    \(\cos \left(-150^{\circ}\right)=\cos 210^{\circ}\)

\(\cos 210^{\circ}=\cos (180+30)=-\cos 30^{\circ}=-\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
 

b.    \(\sin 585^{\circ}=\sin 225^{\circ}\)

\(\sin 225^{\circ}=\sin (180+45)=-\sin 45^{\circ}=-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
