sin(-285)

Solution

sin (- 28 5^{\circ})

Solution

- \frac{2 ( - 1 - 3 )}{4}

Decimal Notation

0.96592 \dots

Solution steps

sin (- 28 5^{\circ})

Use the following property:

sin (- x) = - sin (x)

sin (- 28 5^{\circ}) = - sin (28 5^{\circ})

= - sin (28 5^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (28 5^{\circ}) = \frac{2 ( - 1 - 3 )}{4}

sin (28 5^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (15 0^{\circ}) cos (13 5^{\circ}) + cos (15 0^{\circ}) sin (13 5^{\circ})

sin (28 5^{\circ})

Write

sin (28 5^{\circ})

sin (15 0^{\circ} + 13 5^{\circ})

= sin (15 0^{\circ} + 13 5^{\circ})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= sin (15 0^{\circ}) cos (13 5^{\circ}) + cos (15 0^{\circ}) sin (13 5^{\circ})

= sin (15 0^{\circ}) cos (13 5^{\circ}) + cos (15 0^{\circ}) sin (13 5^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (15 0^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{2}{2}

= \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{2}{2}) + (- \frac{3}{2}) \frac{2}{2}

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (- \frac{2}{2}) + (- \frac{3}{2}) \frac{2}{2} : \frac{2 ( - 1 - 3 )}{4}

\frac{1}{2} (- \frac{2}{2}) + (- \frac{3}{2}) \frac{2}{2}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

= - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{2}

Factor out common term

\frac{2}{2}

= \frac{2}{2} (- \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{2})

- \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{2} = \frac{- 1 - 3}{2}

- \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{2}

Apply rule

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

= \frac{- 1 - 3}{2}

= \frac{2}{2} \cdot \frac{- 1 - 3}{2}

Multiply fractions:

\frac{a}{b} \cdot \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a \cdot c}{b \cdot d}

= \frac{( - 1 - 3 ) 2}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{2 ( - 1 - 3 )}{4}

= \frac{2 ( - 1 - 3 )}{4}

= - \frac{2 ( - 1 - 3 )}{4}
