The correct way to this problem is to somehow change 105º to some degree that we know the exact values of and take it from there. We know the exact values for degrees such as 30º, 45º, 60º, 90º etc. Having said that, we can think of 105º as 45º + 60º
Here is the equation needed to solve this problem:
cos 105º = [cos (60º + 45º)] = [(cos 60º cos 45º) – (sin 60º sin 45º)]
This will simplify by knowing the following values:
cos 60º = ½
cos 45º = 1/√2
sin 60º = √3/2
sin 45º = 1/√2
Substituting these values we will get [(½ x 1/√2) – (√3/2 x 1/√2)]
Which will simplify to (1-√3)/2√2
Short version : the exact value in radian is (1-√3)/2√2 which is a negative value
Good luck 🙂

cos(105) = cos(60 + 45) = cos 60 cos 45 – sin 60 sin 45 = (1/2)(1 /√2) – ( √3/2)(1/√2) = ( 1 – √3) / 2√2 rationalize the denominator by multiplying top and bottom with √2 = (1/4)(√2 – √6) 2) tan 15 = tan(45 – 30) = tan 45 – tan 30 / (1 + tan 45 tan 30) = ( 1 – 1 /√3) / (1 + 1/√3) = (√3 – 1) / (√3 + 1) rationalize the denominator by multiplying top and bottom with ( √3 – 1) (√3 – 1) (√3 – 1)/ (√3 + 1)(√3 – 1) = (3 + 1 – 2√3) /(3 – 1) = (4 – 2√3) / 2 = 2 – √3

exact value would be a fraction not decimal… i cant really remember the unit circle at the moment since its summer break and i havent had math for like 3 months
buuuuuut im pretty sure its 5pi/4

cos105 = cos (180-75) = – cos75
= -{cos (30+45)} = -{cos30 cos45 – sin30 sin45)
simplify this (dont forget the minus outside)
