Answer:
[tex]\frac{c^{2}-a^{2}-b^{2} }{-2ab}[/tex]=cos C
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with the parts that are more loosely attached to the cos C: the a² and the b², they are only attached with addition, which can be easily undone by subtracting from both sides. That gives you c²-a²-b²=-2abC
Next, since you want to isolate cosC, you will want to divide by everything attached to the cosC by multiplication: (c²-a²-b²)÷(-2ab)=cosC. Then you can neaten it up and put it in fraction form: [tex]\frac{c^{2}-a^{2}-b^{2} }{-2ab}[/tex]=cos C
