sin(255)-sin(195)

Solution

sin (25 5^{\circ}) - sin (19 5^{\circ})

Solution

- \frac{2}{2}

Decimal Notation

- 0.70710 \dots

Solution steps

sin (25 5^{\circ}) - sin (19 5^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

2 sin (3 0^{\circ}) cos (22 5^{\circ})

sin (25 5^{\circ}) - sin (19 5^{\circ})

Use the Sum to Product identity:

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

= 2 sin (\frac{25 5 ^{\circ} - 19 5 ^{\circ}}{2}) cos (\frac{25 5 ^{\circ} + 19 5 ^{\circ}}{2})

Simplify

= 2 sin (3 0^{\circ}) cos (22 5^{\circ})

= 2 sin (3 0^{\circ}) cos (22 5^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (3 0^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (22 5^{\circ}) = - \frac{2}{2}

cos (22 5^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (18 0^{\circ}) cos (4 5^{\circ}) - sin (18 0^{\circ}) sin (4 5^{\circ})

cos (22 5^{\circ})

Write

cos (22 5^{\circ})

cos (18 0^{\circ} + 4 5^{\circ})

= cos (18 0^{\circ} + 4 5^{\circ})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= cos (18 0^{\circ}) cos (4 5^{\circ}) - sin (18 0^{\circ}) sin (4 5^{\circ})

= cos (18 0^{\circ}) cos (4 5^{\circ}) - sin (18 0^{\circ}) sin (4 5^{\circ})

= \frac{2}{2}

= (- 1) \frac{2}{2} - 0 \cdot \frac{2}{2}

Simplify

= - \frac{2}{2}

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

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{2}{2}) : - \frac{2}{2}

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

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

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

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Cancel the common factor:

2

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

Multiply:

1 \cdot 2 = 2

= - \frac{2}{2}

= - \frac{2}{2}
