$cos (arctan (\frac{- 3 π}{4})) = \frac{4}{\sqrt{16 + 9 π^{2}}}$ $cos(arctan((-3pi)/4))=4/sqrt(16+9pi^2)$

Explanation:

We are looking for the cosine function of an angle A. The angle A whose tangent = $\frac{- 3 π}{4}$ $(-3pi)/4$

$A = arctan (\frac{- 3 π}{4})$ $A=arctan((-3pi)/4)$ it is an angle

Just imagine a right triangle with angle A with opposite side $= - 3 π$ $=-3pi$
and with adjacent side $= 4$ $=4$ . Then we have a hypotenuse $= \sqrt{4^{2} + {(- 3 π)}^{2}} = \sqrt{16 + 9 π^{2}}$ $=sqrt(4^2+(-3pi)^2)=sqrt(16+9pi^2)$

$cos A = \frac{4}{\sqrt{16 + 9 π^{2}}}$ $cos A=4/sqrt(16+9pi^2)$
