金声玉亮2.0 To determine if \(\cos(\frac{\pi}{8})\) is equal to \(\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}}{2}\), we can start by using trigonometric identities and properties.

First, recall that \(\cos(2\theta) = 2\cos^2(\theta) - 1\). Let's apply this with \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{8}\), which means \(2\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}\).

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = 2\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) - 1
\]

We know that \(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\), so:

\[
\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = 2\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) - 1
\]

Solving for \(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)\):

\[
\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + 1 = 2\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)
\]

\[
\frac{\sqrt{2} + 2}{2} = 2\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)
\]

\[
\frac{\sqrt{2} + 2}{4} = \cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)
\]

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{2} + 2}{4}}
\]

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{\sqrt{2} + 2}}{2}
\]

Therefore, \(\cos(\frac{\pi}{8})\) is indeed equal to \(\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}}{2}\).
True

To determine if \(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)\) equals \(\frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}\), we use the **half-angle formula** for cosine:

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos\theta}{2}}
\]

Let \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}\), so \(\frac{\theta}{2} = \frac{\pi}{8}\). Substitute \(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\) into the formula:

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{2}}
\]

Simplify the numerator inside the square root:

\[
1 + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{2}
\]

Divide by 2:

\[
\frac{\frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{2}}{2} = \frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{4}
\]

Take the square root:

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \sqrt{\frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}
\]

**Verification via numerical approximation**:
- \(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) \approx 0.92388\)
- \(\frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2} \approx \frac{\sqrt{3.4142}}{2} \approx 0.9239\)

Both values match, confirming the equality.

**Answer**: Yes, \(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}\).
True
gpto1 To determine if the identity
\[
\cos\left( \frac{\pi}{8} \right) = \frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}
\]
is true, we'll use trigonometric identities and known values.

**Step 1: Recognize the Half-Angle Relationship**

We note that \(\frac{\pi}{8}\) is half of \(\frac{\pi}{4}\), since:
\[
\frac{\pi}{8} = \frac{\pi}{4} \times \frac{1}{2}
\]
This suggests using the half-angle formula for cosine.

**Step 2: Recall the Half-Angle Formula for Cosine**

The half-angle formula for cosine is:
\[
\cos\left( \frac{\theta}{2} \right) = \sqrt{ \frac{1 + \cos\theta}{2} }
\]
We choose the positive square root because \(\cos\left( \frac{\pi}{8} \right)\) is positive in the first quadrant.

**Step 3: Apply the Half-Angle Formula**

Let \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}\). Then:
\[
\cos\left( \frac{\pi}{8} \right) = \sqrt{ \frac{1 + \cos\left( \frac{\pi}{4} \right)}{2} }
\]

**Step 4: Substitute the Known Value of \(\cos\left( \frac{\pi}{4} \right)\)**

We know that:
\[
\cos\left( \frac{\pi}{4} \right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}
\]
Substituting this value:
\[
\cos\left( \frac{\pi}{8} \right) = \sqrt{ \frac{1 + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{2} }
\]

**Step 5: Simplify the Expression Inside the Square Root**

First, combine the terms in the numerator:
\[
1 + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{2}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{2}
\]
Now, the expression becomes:
\[
\cos\left( \frac{\pi}{8} \right) = \sqrt{ \frac{ \frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{2} }{2} }
\]

Simplify the denominator:
\[
\frac{ \frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{2} }{2} = \frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{2 \times 2} = \frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{4}
\]

**Step 6: Simplify the Square Root**

Now, we have:
\[
\cos\left( \frac{\pi}{8} \right) = \sqrt{ \frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{4} }
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
\cos\left( \frac{\pi}{8} \right) = \frac{ \sqrt{ 2 + \sqrt{2} } }{ \sqrt{4} } = \frac{ \sqrt{ 2 + \sqrt{2} } }{ 2 }
\]

**Step 7: Conclusion**

Therefore, we have shown:
\[
\cos\left( \frac{\pi}{8} \right) = \frac{ \sqrt{ 2 + \sqrt{2} } }{ 2 }
\]
which confirms the identity is true.

**Answer:** Yes; using the half-angle identity shows they are equal: cos(π⁄8) = [√(2 + √2)] ⁄ 2.
True
GPT-4o To determine if \(\cos(\pi/8)\) is equal to \(\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}}{2}\), we can start by using the half-angle identity for cosine. The half-angle identity states that:

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos(\theta)}{2}}
\]

In this case, we are interested in \(\cos(\pi/8)\). We can express \(\pi/8\) as \(\pi/4\) divided by 2, so we will use \(\theta = \pi/4\).

First, we need to know \(\cos(\pi/4)\). We know that:

\[
\cos(\pi/4) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}
\]

Using the half-angle identity:

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi/4}{2}\right) = \cos\left(\pi/8\right) = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos(\pi/4)}{2}}
\]

Substitute \(\cos(\pi/4) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\):

\[
\cos(\pi/8) = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{2}}
\]

Simplify inside the square root:

\[
\cos(\pi/8) = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{2}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{2}}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{4}}
\]

This simplifies further to:

\[
\cos(\pi/8) = \sqrt{\frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}
\]

Thus, we find that:

\[
\cos(\pi/8) = \frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}
\]

Therefore, \(\cos(\pi/8)\) is indeed equal to \(\frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}\).

A nice trigonometry problem!

To solve this, we can use the half-angle formula for cosine:

$$\cos\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) = \pm\sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos\theta}{2}}$$

In this case, we have $\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}$, so:

$$\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \pm\sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)}{2}}$$

We know that $\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$, so:

$$\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \pm\sqrt{\frac{1 + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{2}}$$

Simplifying, we get:

$$\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \pm\sqrt{\frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{4}}$$

$$\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \pm\frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}$$

Since $\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)$ is positive in the first quadrant, we take the positive value:

$$\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}$$

Therefore, yes, $\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)$ is indeed equal to $\frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}$.

To determine if cos(π/8) is equal to (√(2+√2))/2, we can use the half-angle formula for cosine.

The half-angle formula for cosine is:

cos(x/2) = ±√((1 + cos(x))/2)

In this case, we want to find cos(π/8), so we can plug in x = π/4:

cos(π/8) = ±√((1 + cos(π/4))/2)

We know that cos(π/4) = 1/√2, so:

cos(π/8) = ±√((1 + 1/√2)/2)

Simplifying, we get:

cos(π/8) = ±√((2 + √2)/4)

Now, we can take the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

cos(π/8) = ±√(2 + √2)/2

Since cosine is positive in the first quadrant, we can drop the ± sign:

cos(π/8) = √(2 + √2)/2

Therefore, the answer is yes, cos(π/8) is equal to (√(2+√2))/2.
True
DeepSeek-Coder-V2 To determine if cos(π/8) is equal to (√(2+√2))/2, we can use trigonometric identities and algebraic manipulation. Let's go through the steps:

1. **Double Angle Formula**: We start with the double angle formula for cosine:
\[
\cos(2\theta) = 2\cos^2(\theta) - 1
\]
Here, we set \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{8}\), so:
\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = 2\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) - 1
\]

2. **Known Value**: We know that \(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\). Substituting this into the equation, we get:
\[
\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = 2\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) - 1
\]

3. **Solve for \(\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)\)**:
\[
\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + 1 = 2\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)
\]
\[
\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + 1 = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + \frac{2}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{2} + 2}{2}
\]
\[
2\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2} + 2}{2}
\]
\[
\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2} + 2}{4}
\]

4. **Simplify**: To simplify \(\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)\), we need to check if it matches the given expression \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}\right)^2\):
\[
\left(\frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{4}
\]

5. **Comparison**: We compare the two expressions:
\[
\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2} + 2}{4}
\]
\[
\left(\frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{4}
\]

Since both expressions are equal, we conclude that:
\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}
\]

Thus, the answer is yes, \(\cos(\pi/8)\) is equal to \(\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}}{2}\).
True

\[

Solving for \(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)\):

\[
\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + 1 = 2\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)
\]

\[
\frac{\sqrt{2} + 2}{2} = 2\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)
\]

\[
\frac{\sqrt{2} + 2}{4} = \cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)
\]

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{2} + 2}{4}}
\]

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{\sqrt{2} + 2}}{2}
\]

Therefore, \(\cos(\frac{\pi}{8})\) is indeed equal to \(\frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}}{2}\).
True
baichuan4 To determine if $\cos(\pi/8)$ is equal to $(\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}})/2$, we can use the half-angle formula for cosine. The half-angle formula for cosine of an angle $\theta$ is given by:

$$\cos(\theta/2) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos(\theta)}{2}}$$

In our case, we want to find $\cos(\pi/8)$, which is equivalent to finding $\cos((\pi/4)/2)$. Therefore, we can substitute $\theta = \pi/4$ into the formula:

$$\cos(\pi/8) = \cos((\pi/4)/2) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos(\pi/4)}{2}}$$

We know that $\cos(\pi/4) = \sqrt{2}/2$, so let's plug that in:

$$\cos(\pi/8) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{1 + \sqrt{2}/2}{2}}$$

Simplifying the expression inside the square root:

$$\cos(\pi/8) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{4}}$$

$$\cos(\pi/8) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{4}} = \pm \frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}$$

Since the cosine function is positive in the first quadrant and $\pi/8$ lies in the first quadrant, we can discard the negative solution. Therefore, we have:

$$\cos(\pi/8) = \frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}$$

So, yes, $\cos(\pi/8)$ is equal to $(\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}})/2$.
True
doubao We can use the half-angle formula for cosine: cos(θ/2) = ±√[(1 + cosθ)/2].

Let θ = π/4, then cos(π/8) = cos(π/4/2) = ±√[(1 + cos(π/4))/2].

cos(π/4) = √2/2, so cos(π/8) = ±√[(1 + √2/2)/2] = ±√[(2 + √2)/4] = ±(√(2 + √2))/2.

Since π/8 is in the first quadrant and cosine is positive in the first quadrant, cos(π/8) = (√(2 + √2))/2.

So the answer is yes.
True
minimax To determine if \(\cos(\pi/8)\) is equal to \((\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}})/2\), we can use trigonometric identities and properties to express \(\cos(\pi/8)\) in a way that allows us to compare it directly to the given expression.

First, let's express \(\pi/8\) as a sum of angles for which we know the cosine values. We can use the half-angle formula for cosine, which states that for any angle \(\theta\):

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) = \pm\sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos(\theta)}{2}}
\]

We want to express \(\pi/8\) as \(\pi/4 - \pi/8\), so we can use the cosine of a difference formula:

\[
\cos(\alpha - \beta) = \cos(\alpha)\cos(\beta) + \sin(\alpha)\sin(\beta)
\]

Let's set \(\alpha = \pi/4\) and \(\beta = \pi/8\). We know that \(\cos(\pi/4) = \sin(\pi/4) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\). Now we can write:

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{\pi}{8}\right)
\]

Applying the cosine of a difference formula:

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) + \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)
\]

Substituting the known values:

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)
\]

Now, we can isolate \(\cos(\pi/8)\):

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)
\]

\[
\left(1 - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)
\]

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)}{1 - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}
\]

Now, we can use the Pythagorean identity \(\sin^2(\theta) + \cos^2(\theta) = 1\) to express \(\sin(\pi/8)\) in terms of \(\cos(\pi/8)\):

\[
\sin^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = 1 - \cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)
\]

Since we are looking for an expression involving only \(\cos(\pi/8)\), we can't directly use this identity to find \(\sin(\pi/8)\). Instead, we can use the double-angle formula for cosine, which states:

\[
\cos(2\theta) = 2\cos^2(\theta) - 1
\]

Let \(\theta = \pi/8\), then:

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = 2\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) - 1
\]

\[
\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = 2\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) - 1
\]

\[
2\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + 1
\]

\[
\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + 1}{2}
\]

\[
\cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2} + 2}{4}
\]

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{2} + 2}{4}}
\]

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{\sqrt{2} + 2}}{2}
\]

Now, we can see that:

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{\sqrt{2} + 2}}{2} \neq \frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}}{2}
\]

Therefore, \(\cos(\pi/8)\) is not equal to \((\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}})/2\).
True
kimi To determine if \(\cos(\pi/8)\) is equal to \((\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}})/2\), we can use the half-angle formula for cosine, which states that:

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) = \pm\sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos(\theta)}{2}}
\]

We want to find \(\cos(\pi/8)\), which is the same as \(\cos\left(\frac{\pi/4}{2}\right)\). Using the half-angle formula with \(\theta = \pi/4\), we get:

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)}{2}}
\]

Since \(\cos(\pi/4) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\), we can substitute this value into the equation:

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{2}}
\]

Simplify the expression inside the square root:

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \sqrt{\frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{4}}
\]

Now, simplify the square root:

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}
\]

So, yes, \(\cos(\pi/8)\) is indeed equal to \((\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}})/2\).
True
wenxinyiyan To determine if cos(π/8) is equal to (√(2+√2))/2, we can use the half-angle formula for cosines. The half-angle formula for cosine is:

cos(θ/2) = √((1 + cos(θ)) / 2)

In this case, we want to find cos(π/8), which is cos(π/4 / 2). So, θ = π/4.

cos(π/8) = √((1 + cos(π/4)) / 2)

We know that cos(π/4) = √2/2, so:

cos(π/8) = √((1 + √2/2) / 2)
= √((2 + √2) / 4)
= √(2 + √2) / 2

So, cos(π/8) is indeed equal to (√(2+√2))/2.
True
zhipu To determine if \(\cos(\pi/8)\) is equal to \((\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}})/2\), we can use trigonometric identities and some algebraic manipulation.

First, let's recall the double-angle formula for cosine:
\[
\cos(2\theta) = 2\cos^2(\theta) - 1
\]

If we let \(\theta = \pi/8\), then \(2\theta = \pi/4\), and we know that:
\[
\cos(\pi/4) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}
\]

Using the double-angle formula, we have:
\[
\cos(\pi/4) = 2\cos^2(\pi/8) - 1
\]

Substitute \(\cos(\pi/4) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\) into the equation:
\[
\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = 2\cos^2(\pi/8) - 1
\]

Now, solve for \(\cos^2(\pi/8)\):
\[
\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + 1 = 2\cos^2(\pi/8)
\]
\[
\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + \frac{2}{2} = 2\cos^2(\pi/8)
\]
\[
\frac{\sqrt{2} + 2}{2} = 2\cos^2(\pi/8)
\]
\[
\frac{\sqrt{2} + 2}{4} = \cos^2(\pi/8)
\]

Next, take the square root of both sides to solve for \(\cos(\pi/8)\):
\[
\cos(\pi/8) = \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{2} + 2}{4}}
\]
\[
\cos(\pi/8) = \frac{\sqrt{\sqrt{2} + 2}}{2}
\]

Now, let's compare this to the given expression \((\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}})/2\).

Notice that:
\[
\sqrt{\sqrt{2} + 2} = \sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}
\]

This is because \(\sqrt{2}\) can be written as \(2^{1/2}\), and when squared, it becomes \(2\). Thus, the expression inside the square root matches.

Therefore, we have:
\[
\cos(\pi/8) = \frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}
\]

So, \(\cos(\pi/8)\) is indeed equal to \((\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}})/2\).

### Conclusion:
\[
\boxed{\cos(\pi/8) = \frac{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}}{2}}
\]

The given statement is true.
True
gpto1 To determine if the identity
\[
\cos\left( \frac{\pi}{8} \right) = \frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}
\]
is true, we'll use trigonometric identities and known values.

**Step 1: Recognize the Half-Angle Relationship**

We note that \(\frac{\pi}{8}\) is half of \(\frac{\pi}{4}\), since:
\[
\frac{\pi}{8} = \frac{\pi}{4} \times \frac{1}{2}
\]
This suggests using the half-angle formula for cosine.

**Step 2: Recall the Half-Angle Formula for Cosine**

The half-angle formula for cosine is:
\[
\cos\left( \frac{\theta}{2} \right) = \sqrt{ \frac{1 + \cos\theta}{2} }
\]
We choose the positive square root because \(\cos\left( \frac{\pi}{8} \right)\) is positive in the first quadrant.

**Step 3: Apply the Half-Angle Formula**

Let \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}\). Then:
\[
\cos\left( \frac{\pi}{8} \right) = \sqrt{ \frac{1 + \cos\left( \frac{\pi}{4} \right)}{2} }
\]

**Step 4: Substitute the Known Value of \(\cos\left( \frac{\pi}{4} \right)\)**

We know that:
\[
\cos\left( \frac{\pi}{4} \right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}
\]
Substituting this value:
\[
\cos\left( \frac{\pi}{8} \right) = \sqrt{ \frac{1 + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{2} }
\]

**Step 5: Simplify the Expression Inside the Square Root**

First, combine the terms in the numerator:
\[
1 + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{2}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{2}
\]
Now, the expression becomes:
\[
\cos\left( \frac{\pi}{8} \right) = \sqrt{ \frac{ \frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{2} }{2} }
\]

Simplify the denominator:
\[
\frac{ \frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{2} }{2} = \frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{2 \times 2} = \frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{4}
\]

**Step 6: Simplify the Square Root**

Now, we have:
\[
\cos\left( \frac{\pi}{8} \right) = \sqrt{ \frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{4} }
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
\cos\left( \frac{\pi}{8} \right) = \frac{ \sqrt{ 2 + \sqrt{2} } }{ \sqrt{4} } = \frac{ \sqrt{ 2 + \sqrt{2} } }{ 2 }
\]

**Step 7: Conclusion**

Therefore, we have shown:
\[
\cos\left( \frac{\pi}{8} \right) = \frac{ \sqrt{ 2 + \sqrt{2} } }{ 2 }
\]
which confirms the identity is true.

**Answer:** Yes; using the half-angle identity shows they are equal: cos(π⁄8) = [√(2 + √2)] ⁄ 2.
True
deepseekv3 To determine whether \(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)\) is equal to \(\frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}\), we can proceed with the following steps:

### Step 1: Express \(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)\) in terms of known angles
We know that \(\frac{\pi}{8}\) is half of \(\frac{\pi}{4}\), so we can use the half-angle formula for cosine:

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos(\theta)}{2}}
\]

Let \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}\), then:

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)}{2}}
\]

### Step 2: Substitute \(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\)
We know that \(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\), so:

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}
\]

### Step 3: Compare the two expressions
We have shown that:

\[
\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}
\]

Thus, the equality holds true.

### Final Answer:
Yes, \(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)\) is equal to \(\frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{2}}}{2}\).
True
