Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the reference angle by finding the angle with equivalent trig values in the first quadrant. Make the expression negative because cosine is negative in the second quadrant.


cos(-3\pi)/(4)

Use the following property


cos(-x)=-cosx
\begin{gathered} cos(-(3\pi)/(4))=-cos(3\pi)/(4) \\ =-(√(2))/(2) \end{gathered}

Therefore the value of cosine in the second quadrant is negative

Then, cos (-3π/4) =


-(√(2))/(2)
