How do you find the exact value of cos (-5pi/3)? Trigonometry Right Triangles Trigonometric Functions of Any Angle 1 Answer bp Mar 26, 2016 1/2 Explanation: Start like this cos ((-5pi)/3) = cos (2pi -(5pi)/3) because adding 2pi does not change the value of a trignometric function.So, 2pi-(5pi)/3 = pi/3 cos ((pi)/3) equals 1/2 **** Answer link Related questions How do you find the trigonometric functions of any angle?
