Simplify sin(arccos(( square root of 2)/2))
Problem
Solution
Evaluate the inner inverse trigonometric function
arccos(√(,2)/2) Identify the angle
θ in the interval[0,π] such thatcos(θ)=√(,2)/2 Determine that
θ=π/4 becausecos(π/4)=√(,2)/2 Substitute the angle back into the outer function to get
sin(π/4) Calculate the value of
sin(π/4) which is√(,2)/2
