Simplify sin(-( square root of 3)/2)
Problem
Solution
Identify the expression as the sine of a constant value.
Apply the odd function property of sine, which states that
sin(−x)=−sin(x) Rewrite the expression using this property.
Evaluate the numerical value. Since
√(,3)≈1.732 the argument√(,3)/2≈0.866 is a value in radians. There is no standard exact trigonometric identity forsin(√(,3)/2) in terms of radicals orπ Conclude that the simplest exact form is the application of the negative angle identity.
