$\Rightarrow - \frac{1}{2}$ $color(purple)(=> -1 / 2$

$cos - θ = cos θ$ $cos -theta = cos theta$

$:. cos (-(2pi)/3) = cos ((2pi)/3)$

$cos ((2pi)/3) = cos (pi - (pi/3) = -cos (pi/3) = -1 / 2$

$-1/2$

$cos(-(2pi)/3)=-cos(pi/3)=-1/2$

How do you find the exact value of cos ((-2 pi) / 3)cos(−2π3)cos ((-2 pi) / 3)?
