1-sin(pi/6)

1 - sin (\frac{π}{6})

\frac{1}{2}

Decimal Notation

0.5

Solution steps

1 - sin (\frac{π}{6})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{π}{6}) = \frac{1}{2}

sin (\frac{π}{6})

sin (x)

= \frac{1}{2}

= 1 - \frac{1}{2}

Simplify

1 - \frac{1}{2} : \frac{1}{2}

1 - \frac{1}{2}

Convert element to fraction:

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

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

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

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

1 \cdot 2 - 1 = 1

1 \cdot 2 - 1

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 2 = 2

= 2 - 1

Subtract the numbers:

2 - 1 = 1

= 1

= \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{1}{2}
