sin(315)-sin(60)

Solution

sin (31 5^{\circ}) - sin (6 0^{\circ})

Solution

\frac{- 2 - 3}{2}

Decimal Notation

- 1.57313 \dots

Solution steps

sin (31 5^{\circ}) - sin (6 0^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (31 5^{\circ}) = - \frac{2}{2}

sin (31 5^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (18 0^{\circ}) cos (13 5^{\circ}) + cos (18 0^{\circ}) sin (13 5^{\circ})

sin (31 5^{\circ})

Write

sin (31 5^{\circ})

sin (18 0^{\circ} + 13 5^{\circ})

= sin (18 0^{\circ} + 13 5^{\circ})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= sin (18 0^{\circ}) cos (13 5^{\circ}) + cos (18 0^{\circ}) sin (13 5^{\circ})

= sin (18 0^{\circ}) cos (13 5^{\circ}) + cos (18 0^{\circ}) sin (13 5^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (18 0^{\circ}) = 0
