Find the Exact Value sin(10)
Problem
Solution
Identify the given expression as the sine of an angle measured in degrees,
sin(10) Determine if the angle is a standard reference angle. The angle
10 is not one of the common angles (like0,30,45,60,90 found on the unit circle.Express the value using the Taylor series expansion or radical forms if required. While
sin(10) can be expressed using complex numbers or nested radicals via the triple-angle formulasin(3*θ)=3*sin(θ)−4*sin3(θ) these forms are not simpler than the trigonometric expression itself.Conclude that the exact value is most commonly represented in its trigonometric form unless a specific radical approximation or infinite series is requested.
