Simplify sin(arctan( square root of 3))
Problem
Solution
Evaluate the inner expression
arctan(√(,3)) by finding the angleθ in the interval(−π/2,π/2) such thattan(θ)=√(,3) Identify the angle
θ=π/3 (or60 becausetan(π/3)=√(,3) Substitute the value of the angle back into the outer function to get
sin(π/3) Calculate the sine of the angle using the unit circle or special triangles.
Determine that
sin(π/3)=√(,3)/2
