Now, we need to find cos(2α+125π)=cos[(2α+32π)−4π],
Using the cosine difference formula, we get cos(2α+125π)=cos(2α+32π)cos4π+sin(2α+32π)sin4π,
Substituting the values, we get cos(2α+125π)=−257×22+2524×22=50172.
This problem involves the application of trigonometric functions of the same angle and trigonometric identities transformation. It requires flexible use of formulas.
