sin(pi/(18))cos((7pi)/(36))+cos(pi/(18))sin((7pi)/(36))

Solution

sin (\frac{π}{18}) cos (\frac{7 π}{36}) + cos (\frac{π}{18}) sin (\frac{7 π}{36})

Solution

\frac{2}{2}

Decimal

0.70710 \dots

Solution steps

sin (\frac{π}{18}) cos (\frac{7 π}{36}) + cos (\frac{π}{18}) sin (\frac{7 π}{36})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (\frac{π}{4})

sin (\frac{π}{18}) cos (\frac{7 π}{36}) + cos (\frac{π}{18}) sin (\frac{7 π}{36})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

sin (s) cos (t) + cos (s) sin (t) = sin (s + t)

= sin (\frac{π}{18} + \frac{7 π}{36})

Simplify:

\frac{π}{18} + \frac{7 π}{36} = \frac{π}{4}

\frac{π}{18} + \frac{7 π}{36}

18

18

divides by

218 = 9 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 9

9

divides by

39 = 3 \cdot 3

= 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 3

2, 3

are all prime numbers, therefore no further factorization is possible

= 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 3

Prime factorization of

36 : 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 3

36

36

divides by

236 = 18 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 18

18

divides by

218 = 9 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 9

9

divides by

39 = 3 \cdot 3

= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 3

2, 3

are all prime numbers, therefore no further factorization is possible

= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 3

Multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either

18

36

= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 3

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 3 = 36

= 36

Adjust Fractions based on the LCM

Multiply each numerator by the same amount needed to multiply its

corresponding denominator to turn it into the LCM

36

For

\frac{π}{18} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

2

\frac{π}{18} = \frac{π 2}{18 \cdot 2} = \frac{π 2}{36}

= \frac{π 2}{36} + \frac{7 π}{36}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{π 2 + 7 π}{36}

Add similar elements:

2 π + 7 π = 9 π

= \frac{9 π}{36}

Cancel the common factor:

9

= \frac{π}{4}

= sin (\frac{π}{4})

= sin (\frac{π}{4})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{π}{4}) = \frac{2}{2}
