Find the Exact Value sin((8pi)/3)

Problem

sin((8*π)/3)

Solution

1. Find the coterminal angle by subtracting multiples of 2*π until the angle is within the interval [0,2*π)

(8*π)/3−2*π=(8*π)/3−(6*π)/3

(8*π)/3−(6*π)/3=(2*π)/3

2. Identify the quadrant for the angle (2*π)/3 Since π/2<(2*π)/3<π the angle is in Quadrant II.

3. Determine the reference angle for (2*π)/3 in Quadrant II using the formula π−θ

π−(2*π)/3=π/3

4. Apply the sine function to the reference angle. In Quadrant II, the sine function is positive.

sin(π/3)=√(,3)/2

Final Answer

sin((8*π)/3)=√(,3)/2
