    For what angles can the exact value of all trigonometrig ratios be found?

    Awesome! Cool formula and cool solving meathod.

    For what angles can the exact value of all trigonometrig ratios be found?

    I can use half-angle formulas to get it to √((1-cos(pi/5))/2)

    For what angles can the exact value of all trigonometrig ratios be found?

    Addition formulas (ex: sin(a+b) = sina cosb + cosa sinb ) Power reducing formulas (sin(a)^2 = (1-cos 2a)/2 ) Half and double angle formulas (derived from the above two formulas) Sum to product formulas ( sina + sinb = 2sin((a+b)/2)cos((a-b)/2) ) and product to sum formulas ( cosa * sinb =...

    For what angles can the exact value of all trigonometrig ratios be found?

    Oops sorry it should be (1/4)(√5 - 1) and I got it from wolfram alpha

    For what angles can the exact value of all trigonometrig ratios be found?

    I have learned a lot of formulas for converting trigonometric values, but when I looked up sin(pi/10) I got the exact answer (1/4)(√5 +1). I tried to arive at this using formulas, but I couldn't. How is this found? What other angles can be found exactly. Ps. I already know about how taylor...

    New news about neutrinos moving faster than the spead of light?

    I don't think anyone can explain it, but does anyone know what is up with this news about neurtinos going faster than the spead of light? I can feal all of physics crumbling around me whenever I think about it!

    Cardinality of the set of ordinal numbers

    Can't you make a set out of anything? I already know the ordinals are uncountably infinate, so I just want it one step farther, "how" uncountably infinate. PS. I mean the set of the numbers themselves, not the sets they describe.

    Cardinality of the set of ordinal numbers

    Does anyone happen to know what the cardinality of the set of ordinal number (transfinite and otherwise) is? A simplified proof would also be much appreciated. Recently I have been very interested in transfinite numbers and the logically gorgeous proofs involved :D
