Q. Express as a function of a DIFFERENT angle, 0∘≤θ<360∘.cos(88∘)cos(□∘)
Identify Related Angle: Identify a related angle to 88° that can simplify the expression.Since 88° is close to 90°, we can use the fact that cos(90°−θ)=sin(θ). Here, θ would be 90°−88°=2°.
Apply Co-Function Identity: Apply the co-function identity to express cos(88°) in terms of sine.Using the identity from Step 1, we have cos(88°)=sin(90°−88°)=sin(2°).
Verify Range: Verify that the new expression is within the required range.Since 2∘ is within the range 0^\circ \leq \theta < 360^\circ, we have successfully expressed cos(88∘) as a function of a different angle.
