Find the Exact Value cos(pi/4)+cos(pi/6)

$\cos (\frac{π}{4}) + \cos (\frac{π}{6})$

Step 1

The exact value of $\cos (\frac{π}{4})$ is $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + \cos (\frac{π}{6})$

Step 2

The exact value of $\cos (\frac{π}{6})$ is $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Step 3

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Decimal Form:

$1.57313218 \dots$
