Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If sin(α) = 0.6, what is the value of cos(α) using the identity?
Correct Answer: 0.8
  • Step 1: Start with the given value of sin(α), which is 0.6.
  • Step 2: Use the identity sin^2(α) + cos^2(α) = 1.
  • Step 3: Calculate sin^2(α) by squaring 0.6: 0.6^2 = 0.36.
  • Step 4: Substitute sin^2(α) into the identity: 0.36 + cos^2(α) = 1.
  • Step 5: Rearrange the equation to find cos^2(α): cos^2(α) = 1 - 0.36.
  • Step 6: Calculate 1 - 0.36, which equals 0.64.
  • Step 7: Now, take the square root of 0.64 to find cos(α): cos(α) = √0.64.
  • Step 8: Calculate the square root of 0.64, which is 0.8.
