Question: Find the exact value of cos 75° using half angle formula.


A ) 2 -32
B ) - 2 -32
C ) 2 +32
D ) - 2 +32

Steps to derive

1 cos 75° = +1 + cos150o2
 [Using cos x2 = +1 + cos x2
cos 75° is positive.
75° = 12 · 150°.]

2 = 1 + (-32)2 = 2 -34 = 2 -32
 [Using cos 150° = - 32.]



Hence the right answer is Option A
