Sin -30

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

sine is a odd function sin (-x) = -sin x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, find sin(30) and then multiply it by -1

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

one method to find sin 30 is to make a triangle with a 30° angle |dw:1393132873031:dw|

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

starting with an equilateral triangle (all angles are 60°) and side lengths 2 then bisecting it |dw:1393132982455:dw| we get a triangle with 30°, 60°, 90°, one side is of length 2, the other side length of length 1

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

then use the definition of sine, sin x = opposite / hypotenuse sin 30 = / =
