cos(-60)*sin(-240)

Solution

cos (- 6 0^{\circ}) \cdot sin (- 24 0^{\circ})

Solution

\frac{3}{4}

Decimal Notation

0.43301 \dots

Solution steps

cos (- 6 0^{\circ}) sin (- 24 0^{\circ})

Use the following property:

sin (- x) = - sin (x)

sin (- 24 0^{\circ}) = - sin (24 0^{\circ})

= cos (- 6 0^{\circ}) (- sin (24 0^{\circ}))

Use the following property:

cos (- x) = cos (x)

cos (- 6 0^{\circ}) = cos (6 0^{\circ})

= cos (6 0^{\circ}) (- sin (24 0^{\circ}))

Simplify

= - cos (6 0^{\circ}) sin (24 0^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (6 0^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

cos (6 0^{\circ})

cos (x)

= \frac{1}{2}

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (24 0^{\circ}) = - \frac{3}{2}

sin (24 0^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (18 0^{\circ}) cos (6 0^{\circ}) + cos (18 0^{\circ}) sin (6 0^{\circ})

sin (24 0^{\circ})

Write

sin (24 0^{\circ})

sin (18 0^{\circ} + 6 0^{\circ})

= sin (18 0^{\circ} + 6 0^{\circ})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= sin (18 0^{\circ}) cos (6 0^{\circ}) + cos (18 0^{\circ}) sin (6 0^{\circ})

= sin (18 0^{\circ}) cos (6 0^{\circ}) + cos (18 0^{\circ}) sin (6 0^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (18 0^{\circ}) = 0

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

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

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Multiply:

1 \cdot 3 = 3

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{3}{4}

= \frac{3}{4}
