Find the Exact Value sin(43)
Problem
Solution
Identify the nature of the angle. The angle
43 is not a standard reference angle (such as0,30,45,60,90 for which exact values are typically expressed in simple radicals.Determine if a trigonometric identity applies. While
43 can be expressed as45−2 the exact value forsin(2) is not a simple algebraic number, meaning the result cannot be simplified into a standard radical form.Conclude the exact representation. In trigonometry, if an angle does not correspond to a standard multiple of
3 or1.5 that allows for radical expansion, the exact value is simply the expression itself.
