sin(97.5)

Solution

sin (97. 5^{\circ})

Solution

\frac{2 4 - 2 ( - 3 - 1 )}{4}

Decimal

0.99144 \dots

Solution steps

sin (97. 5^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

\frac{1 - cos ( 19 5 ^{\circ} )}{2}

sin (97. 5^{\circ})

Write

sin (97. 5^{\circ})

sin (\frac{19 5 ^{\circ}}{2})

= sin (\frac{19 5 ^{\circ}}{2})

Use the Half Angle identity:

sin (\frac{θ}{2}) = \frac{1 - cos ( θ )}{2}

Use the Double Angle identity

cos (2 θ) = 1 - 2 sin^{2} (θ)

Substitute

θ

with

\frac{θ}{2}

cos (θ) = 1 - 2 sin^{2} (\frac{θ}{2})

Switch sides

2 sin^{2} (\frac{θ}{2}) = 1 - cos (θ)

Divide both sides by

2

sin^{2} (\frac{θ}{2}) = \frac{( 1 - cos ( θ ) )}{2}

Square root both sides

Choose the root sign according to the quadrant of

\frac{θ}{2}

range [0, 9 0^{\circ}] [9 0^{\circ}, 18 0^{\circ}] [18 0^{\circ}, 27 0^{\circ}] [27 0^{\circ}, 36 0^{\circ}] quadrant I II III I V sin positive positive negative negative cos positive negative negative positive

sin (\frac{θ}{2}) = \frac{( 1 - cos ( θ ) )}{2}

= \frac{1 - cos ( 19 5 ^{\circ} )}{2}

= \frac{1 - cos ( 19 5 ^{\circ} )}{2}

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (19 5^{\circ}) = \frac{2 ( - 3 - 1 )}{4}

cos (19 5^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (15 0^{\circ}) cos (4 5^{\circ}) - sin (15 0^{\circ}) sin (4 5^{\circ})

cos (19 5^{\circ})

Write

cos (19 5^{\circ})

cos (15 0^{\circ} + 4 5^{\circ})

= cos (15 0^{\circ} + 4 5^{\circ})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

cos (s + t) = cos (s) cos (t) - sin (s) sin (t)

= cos (15 0^{\circ}) cos (4 5^{\circ}) - sin (15 0^{\circ}) sin (4 5^{\circ})

= cos (15 0^{\circ}) cos (4 5^{\circ}) - sin (15 0^{\circ}) sin (4 5^{\circ})

Convert element to fraction:

1 = \frac{1 \cdot 4}{4}

= \frac{1 \cdot 4}{4} - \frac{2 ( - 3 - 1 )}{4}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

Apply exponent rule:
