Find the Exact Value sin(2.2)
Problem
Solution
Identify the input value as
2.2 radians. Since2.2 is not a standard multiple ofπ (likeπ/6 π/4 orπ/3 , there is no simpler radical or integer expression for its exact value.Recognize that in trigonometry, the "exact value" of a non-standard angle is typically represented by the function itself unless a numerical approximation is requested.
Determine the quadrant of the angle. Since
π/2≈1.57 andπ≈3.14 the angle2.2 lies in the second quadrant, where the sine function is positive.Conclude that the expression
sin(2.2) is already in its simplest exact form.
