trigonometry write the expression as a single real number. do not use decimal appox.?
cos(2π/3)cosπ + sin(2π/3)sinπ
can you show me how and if anyone tell me all the common angles
and a good complete unit circle with the degree, radian and the coordinates

cos(2π/3) = -1/2
cos(π) = -1
sin(2π/3) = √(3)/2
sin(π) = 0
So far as the tables and diagrams you requested, they might be found in a secondary textbook appendix. A good study strategy is to become familiar with the ratios in the 45°–45°–90° and 30°–60°–90° triangles, and learn the signs of the trigonometric functions in the four quadrants. The key is to understand rather than memorize.

we can simplify the problem by finding the numerical values of the given functions.
cos(2pi/3) = -.5
cos(pi) = -1
sin(2pi/3) = squareroot(3) / 2
sin(pi) = 0
so,
-.5(-1) + 0 = 1.5
