Find the Exact Value sin(5/6)
Problem
Solution
Identify the input of the function. The expression
sin(5/6) represents the sine of a constant value,5/6 radians.Determine if the value corresponds to a common reference angle. The value
5/6 is approximately0.833 radians. This is not one of the standard unit circle angles such asπ/6 π/4 orπ/3 Conclude that since
5/6 is not a multiple ofπ the exact value cannot be simplified into a standard algebraic form involving square roots or rational numbers. The expression is already in its simplest exact form.
