sin(255)

Solution

sin (25 5^{\circ})

Solution

\frac{- 2 - 6}{4}

Decimal Notation

- 0.96592 \dots

Solution steps

sin (25 5^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (13 5^{\circ}) cos (12 0^{\circ}) + cos (13 5^{\circ}) sin (12 0^{\circ})

sin (25 5^{\circ})

Write

sin (25 5^{\circ})

sin (13 5^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ})

= sin (13 5^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= sin (13 5^{\circ}) cos (12 0^{\circ}) + cos (13 5^{\circ}) sin (12 0^{\circ})

= sin (13 5^{\circ}) cos (12 0^{\circ}) + cos (13 5^{\circ}) sin (12 0^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (13 5^{\circ}) = \frac{2}{2}

= \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{2}{2} (- \frac{1}{2}) + (- \frac{2}{2}) \frac{3}{2}

Simplify

\frac{2}{2} (- \frac{1}{2}) + (- \frac{2}{2}) \frac{3}{2} : \frac{- 2 - 6}{4}

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

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

= - \frac{2}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{2} \cdot \frac{3}{2}

\frac{2}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4}

\frac{2}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2}

Multiply fractions:

\frac{a}{b} \cdot \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a \cdot c}{b \cdot d}

= \frac{2 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{2}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{2}{4}

\frac{2}{2} \cdot \frac{3}{2} = \frac{6}{4}

\frac{2}{2} \cdot \frac{3}{2}

Multiply fractions:

\frac{a}{b} \cdot \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a \cdot c}{b \cdot d}

= \frac{2 3}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{2 3}{4}

Simplify

23 : 6

23

Apply radical rule:

a b = a \cdot b

23 = 2 \cdot 3

= 2 \cdot 3

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 = 6

= 6

= \frac{6}{4}

= - \frac{2}{4} - \frac{6}{4}

Apply rule

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

= \frac{- 2 - 6}{4}

= \frac{- 2 - 6}{4}
