Sin and exact values, I am lost...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin[17pi/12]

OpenStudy (raden):

convert 17pi/12 to degrees form, first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.08

OpenStudy (raden):

hint : pi=180 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah ok um...

OpenStudy (raden):

so, what's degrees of 17pi/12 is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

255

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well 254.999

OpenStudy (raden):

yes, correct.... dont use calculator, it's special degrees, so u have to remember it !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (raden):

in the first quadrant : sin 0 = 0 sin 30 degrees = sin pi/6 = 1/2 sin 45 deg = sin pi/4 = 1/2 * sqrt(2) sin 60 deg = sin pi/3 = 1/2 * sqrt(3) sin 90 deg = sin pi/2 = 1 so on .....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so sin 3pi/2?

OpenStudy (raden):

u not yet cleared number 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sqrt2-sqrt6 /4

OpenStudy (raden):

how come

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um, I used a calculator... and set it equal to rad form
