I am "reminded" at the beginning of the exercise that $cosleft(dfracpi4right)=dfracsqrt22$ and that $cos (2x)=2cos^2(x)- 1$. I have been trying to figure this out:



$$cosdfracpi8 = dfracsqrt2 + sqrt22$$



for hours but keep going round in circles and it's driving me crazy.
It is probably extremely obvious to solve but I just can't seem to be able to.

    You say you’ve been going round in circles for hours, but you still need to include your attempts since this isn’t a site that will just give you answers.

Let $cosfracpi8 = c$



You know that $frac12 sqrt 2 = cos fracpi4 = 2c^2 - 1$



So you can set up the quadratic $2c^2 - 1 = frac 12sqrt 2$



$c^2 = frac 14 (2 + sqrt 2)$



$c = frac 12 sqrt2 +sqrt 2$ (taking the positive root based on the argument being in the first quadrant).
