Q. Find the following trigonometric values.\newlineExpress your answers exactly.\newlinecos(7π4)=sin(7π4)= \begin{array}{l} \cos \left(\frac{7 \pi}{4}\right)=\square \\ \sin \left(\frac{7 \pi}{4}\right)=\square \end{array}
  1. Finding Exact Values: We need to find the exact values of the cosine and sine functions for the angle (7π)/4(7\pi)/4. This angle corresponds to a standard position on the unit circle, which is 4545^\circ (or π/4\pi/4 radians) past the 3π/23\pi/2 position (or 270270^\circ), placing it in the fourth quadrant.
  2. Quadrant and Coordinates: In the fourth quadrant, the cosine value is positive and the sine value is negative. This is because the cosine corresponds to the x-coordinate and the sine corresponds to the y-coordinate of a point on the unit circle.
  3. Reference Angle: The reference angle for (7π)/4(7\pi)/4 is π/4\pi/4 because (7π)/4(7\pi)/4 is an angle that is π/4\pi/4 radians past the 3π/23\pi/2 position. The reference angle is the acute angle that the terminal side of the given angle makes with the x-axis.
  4. Cosine and Sine Values: The cosine and sine of π4\frac{\pi}{4} are both 22\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}. Since 7π4\frac{7\pi}{4} is in the fourth quadrant, we must change the sign of the sine value to negative. Therefore, cos(7π4)=22\cos\left(\frac{7\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} and sin(7π4)=22\sin\left(\frac{7\pi}{4}\right) = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}.
