sin(7/2 pi)

sin (\frac{7}{2} π)

- 1

Solution steps

sin (\frac{7}{2} π)

Simplify:

\frac{7}{2} π = \frac{7 π}{2}

\frac{7}{2} π

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{7 π}{2}

= sin (\frac{7 π}{2})

sin (\frac{7 π}{2}) = sin (\frac{3 π}{2})

sin (\frac{7 π}{2})

Rewrite

\frac{7 π}{2}

2 π + \frac{3 π}{2}

= sin (2 π + \frac{3 π}{2})

Apply the periodicity of

sin

sin (x + 2 π) = sin (x)

sin (2 π + \frac{3 π}{2}) = sin (\frac{3 π}{2})

= sin (\frac{3 π}{2})

= sin (\frac{3 π}{2})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (π) cos (\frac{π}{2}) + cos (π) sin (\frac{π}{2})

sin (\frac{3 π}{2})

Write

sin (\frac{3 π}{2})

sin (π + \frac{π}{2})

= sin (π + \frac{π}{2})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= sin (π) cos (\frac{π}{2}) + cos (π) sin (\frac{π}{2})

= sin (π) cos (\frac{π}{2}) + cos (π) sin (\frac{π}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (π) = 0
