Solution steps

2 cos (\frac{5 π}{6})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{5 π}{6}) = - \frac{3}{2}

cos (\frac{5 π}{6})

cos (x)

= - \frac{3}{2}

= 2 (- \frac{3}{2})

Simplify

2 (- \frac{3}{2}) : - 3

2 (- \frac{3}{2})

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

= - 2 \cdot \frac{3}{2}

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= - \frac{3 \cdot 2}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= - 3

= - 3
