Find the exact value by using a half-angle identity. sin seven pi divided by eight

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the double angle identity for the sine of an angle:

Therefore, in order to find the , we need to find the cos of twice the angle , that is of  

We need also to know in which quadrant the angle is, in order to have an idea whether to select the positive or the negative sign given by the formula. We notice that is smaller than . Therefore we are referring to an angle in the upper quadrants, where the sign function is positive. So we are going to go with the positive sign of the double angle formula.

Next, we need to study to assign a value to our

So we look at , as seven times the angle (45 degrees), and make a diagram to guide us for the sign and exact numerical value of the cosine function of that angle (see attached picture). We notice that this angle resides in the 4th quadrant, therefore the cos is a positive number. And since we are dealing with one of the well known "special angles" for which we have exact numerical expressions, we can give the answer for :

Now we insert this numerical value into the half angle formula:

just find the gcf and solve the gcf's until you get each answer i have a really good feeling somethings missing xd (like the dimensions of the fence) *cough *cough *hint *hint
