4.79 Method I. Let A=cos53πcos56π. Multiplying both sides of this equation by 2sin53π, we get
2Asin53π=2sin53πcos53πcos56π;2Asin53π=sin56πcos56π;
2Asin53π=21sin512π;2Asin53π=21sin52π.
But sin52π=sin(π−53π)=sin53π, from which A=41.
Method II. We have
A=cos53πcos56π=2sin53π2sin53πcos53πcos56π==4sin53πsin512π=4sin53πsin52π=41
