sin((-10pi)/3)

Solution

sin (\frac{- 10 π}{3})

Solution

\frac{3}{2}

Decimal Notation

0.86602 \dots

Solution steps

sin (\frac{- 10 π}{3})

Simplify

= sin (- \frac{10 π}{3})

Use the following property:

sin (- x) = - sin (x)

sin (- \frac{10 π}{3}) = - sin (\frac{10 π}{3})

= - sin (\frac{10 π}{3})

sin (\frac{10 π}{3}) = sin (\frac{4 π}{3})

sin (\frac{10 π}{3})

Rewrite

\frac{10 π}{3}

2 π + \frac{4 π}{3}

= sin (2 π + \frac{4 π}{3})

Apply the periodicity of

sin

sin (x + 2 π) = sin (x)

sin (2 π + \frac{4 π}{3}) = sin (\frac{4 π}{3})

= sin (\frac{4 π}{3})

= - sin (\frac{4 π}{3})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (\frac{4 π}{3}) = - \frac{3}{2}

sin (\frac{4 π}{3})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (π) cos (\frac{π}{3}) + cos (π) sin (\frac{π}{3})

sin (\frac{4 π}{3})

Write

sin (\frac{4 π}{3})

sin (π + \frac{π}{3})

= sin (π + \frac{π}{3})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

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

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

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (π) = 0
