sin((3pi)/2)+tan(pi)cos(pi/2)-cot((5pi)/6)-sin((7pi)/6)

Solution

sin (\frac{3 π}{2}) + tan (π) cos (\frac{π}{2}) - cot (\frac{5 π}{6}) - sin (\frac{7 π}{6})

Solution

- \frac{1}{2} + 3

Decimal

1.23205 \dots

Solution steps

sin (\frac{3 π}{2}) + tan (π) cos (\frac{π}{2}) - cot (\frac{5 π}{6}) - sin (\frac{7 π}{6})

tan (π) = tan (0)

tan (π)

Rewrite

π

π + 0

= tan (π + 0)

Apply the periodicity of

tan

tan (x + π) = tan (x)

tan (π + 0) = tan (0)

= tan (0)

= sin (\frac{3 π}{2}) + tan (0) cos (\frac{π}{2}) - cot (\frac{5 π}{6}) - sin (\frac{7 π}{6})

Rewrite as

= sin (\frac{3 π}{2}) - sin (\frac{7 π}{6}) + tan (0) cos (\frac{π}{2}) - cot (\frac{5 π}{6})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (\frac{3 π}{2}) - sin (\frac{7 π}{6}) = 2 sin (\frac{π}{6}) cos (\frac{4 π}{3})

sin (\frac{3 π}{2}) - sin (\frac{7 π}{6})

Use the Sum to Product identity:

sin (s) - sin (t) = 2 sin (\frac{s - t}{2}) cos (\frac{s + t}{2})

= 2 sin (\frac{\frac{3 π}{2} - \frac{7 π}{6}}{2}) cos (\frac{\frac{3 π}{2} + \frac{7 π}{6}}{2})

Simplify:

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2} - \frac{7 π}{6}}{2} = \frac{π}{6}

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2} - \frac{7 π}{6}}{2}
