Simplify, evaluate if possible using the unit circle: #cos(pi/9)cos(pi/18)-sin(pi/9)sin(pi/18)# ?
Simplify, evaluate if possible using the unit circle:
#cos(pi/9)cos(pi/18)-sin(pi/9)sin(pi/18)#
I can put this in all sorts of formats using half and double angle formulas, but I don't know what is the "most simple" or how to evaluate it using the unit circle. Help?
Thanks!!

See below
Explanation:
Most simple technique would be to recognize that this is the cosine sum identity:
So:
