sin((-7pi)/3)

sin (\frac{- 7 π}{3})

- \frac{3}{2}

Decimal Notation

- 0.86602 \dots

Solution steps

sin (\frac{- 7 π}{3})

Simplify

= sin (- \frac{7 π}{3})

Use the following property:

sin (- x) = - sin (x)

sin (- \frac{7 π}{3}) = - sin (\frac{7 π}{3})

= - sin (\frac{7 π}{3})

sin (\frac{7 π}{3}) = sin (\frac{π}{3})

sin (\frac{7 π}{3})

Rewrite

\frac{7 π}{3}

2 π + \frac{π}{3}

= sin (2 π + \frac{π}{3})

Apply the periodicity of

sin

sin (x + 2 π) = sin (x)

sin (2 π + \frac{π}{3}) = sin (\frac{π}{3})

= sin (\frac{π}{3})

= - sin (\frac{π}{3})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{π}{3}) = \frac{3}{2}

sin (\frac{π}{3})

sin (x)
