Solve cos45^circ-50=

$$\cos 45 ^ { \circ } - 50 =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-50\approx -49.292893219$$

Short Solution Steps

Get the value of \cos(45) from trigonometric values table.

$$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-50$$

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 50 times \frac{2}{2}.

$$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-\frac{50\times 2}{2}$$

Since \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} and \frac{50\times 2}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{\sqrt{2}-50\times 2}{2}$$

Do the multiplications in \sqrt{2}-50\times 2.

$$\frac{\sqrt{2}-100}{2}$$
