\[\theta= 2 \sec ^{-1} \frac{ 3 }{ \sqrt{5} }\] find the values of \[\sin \frac{ \theta }{ 2 }\]
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Tips: use \( instead of \[ to make equations in line :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay

@hartnn
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
\[\theta=2\sec^{-1}\frac3{\sqrt5}\]\[\frac\theta2=sec^{-1}\frac3{\sqrt5}\]\[\sec\frac\theta2=\frac3{\sqrt5}\]\[\cos\frac\theta2=\frac{\sqrt5}3\]

hartnn (hartnn):
yes, just find sin from that triangle!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
just like the calculation above ?
hartnn (hartnn):
because you question was basically
sin (sec inv 3/sqrt 5)

ermm
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
What is \(\sin\dfrac\theta2\) from this triangle? :)|dw:1385824630916:dw|
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ 2 }{ \sqrt{5}}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it ?
hartnn (hartnn):
sine is opposite / hypotenuse

ops , confused with tan
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2/3
hartnn (hartnn):
yessss
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
bingo :D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i see , okay , that's my last question . thank you guys , good night ! :)

wait if sin teta , is the answer still te same ?
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
\(\sin\theta=\sin\left(2\cdot\dfrac\theta2\right)=2\sin\dfrac\theta2\cos\dfrac\theta2\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
why do we need to times 2 ?
hartnn (hartnn):
^
and you can find both sin theta/2 and cos theta/2 using the triangle
hartnn (hartnn):
because its the standard formula
\(\huge \sin 2A = 2 \sin A \cos A\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh , that formula
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the answer is \[\frac{ 4.\sqrt{5} }{ 3 }\] ?
hartnn (hartnn):
no....
what did u use for cos theta/2 ?
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
by the way that little dot is produced by \cdot :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ \sqrt{5} }{ 3 }\]

hartnn (hartnn):
thats correct
so shouldn't u get
4 sqrt 5/ 9?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i forgot to times the denomenator
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yup i got 4sqrt5/9
hartnn (hartnn):
then correct.
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
good job :)

again thank you , awesome supermaths tutor
OpenStudy (anonymous):
:D lets sleep
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
no problem :)
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
where you from? :)
