cos(50)cos(10)-sin(50)sin(10)

cos (5 0^{\circ}) cos (1 0^{\circ}) - sin (5 0^{\circ}) sin (1 0^{\circ})

\frac{1}{2}

Decimal Notation

0.5

Solution steps

cos (5 0^{\circ}) cos (1 0^{\circ}) - sin (5 0^{\circ}) sin (1 0^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (6 0^{\circ})

cos (1 0^{\circ}) cos (5 0^{\circ}) - sin (1 0^{\circ}) sin (5 0^{\circ})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

cos (s) cos (t) - sin (s) sin (t) = cos (s + t)

= cos (1 0^{\circ} + 5 0^{\circ})

Simplify

= cos (6 0^{\circ})

= cos (6 0^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (6 0^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

cos (6 0^{\circ})
