Ta có:
\(\begin{array}{l}cos\left( {\frac{\pi }{4}} \right) = cos\left( {2.\frac{\pi }{8}} \right) = 2co{s^2}\frac{\pi }{8} - 1 = \frac{{\sqrt 2 }}{2}\\ \Rightarrow co{s^2}\frac{\pi }{8} = \frac{{\sqrt 2 + 2}}{4}\end{array}\)
\( \Rightarrow cos\frac{\pi }{8} = \sqrt {\frac{{\sqrt 2 + 2}}{4}} = \frac{{\sqrt {\sqrt 2 + 2} }}{2}\) (vì \(0 < \frac{\pi }{8} < \frac{\pi }{2}\))
Ta có:
\(\tan \left( {\frac{\pi }{4}} \right) = \tan \left( {2.\frac{\pi }{8}} \right) = \frac{{2\tan \frac{\pi }{8}}}{{1 - {{\tan }^2}\frac{\pi }{8}}} = 1\)
\(\begin{array}{l} \Leftrightarrow 1 - {\tan ^2}\frac{\pi }{8} = 2\tan \frac{\pi }{8}\\ \Leftrightarrow {\tan ^2}\frac{\pi }{8} + 2\tan \frac{\pi }{8} - 1 = 0\end{array}\)
\( \Leftrightarrow \tan \frac{\pi }{8} = - 1 + \sqrt 2 \)(vì \(0 < \frac{\pi }{8} < \frac{\pi }{2}\))
