medal!!!! use a half angle identity to find the exact value of sin 105 degree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (misty1212):

HI!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[105\] is half of \(210\) right ?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

you are going to use \[\sin(105)=\sqrt{\frac{1-\cos(210)}{2}}\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

so what you need is to find \(\cos(210)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its - squared 3/2

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{slate}{ \sqrt{~~~~~} }\) is called a square root. "squared" is when you raise a number to a second power.

OpenStudy (misty1212):

yes it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry my bad;/

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

`\(\large\color{slate}{ \sqrt{ } }\)`

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

sure:)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

so you get \[\sqrt{\frac{1+\frac{\sqrt3}{2}}{2}}\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Also, you can use my latex: `\(\large\color{slate}{ \displaystyle -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} }\)` \(\large\color{slate}{ \displaystyle -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} }\)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

simplify this complex fraction by multiplying inside top and bottom by \(2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6/2=3/1?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

hmm i guess i confused you

OpenStudy (misty1212):

inside the radical is \[\frac{1+\frac{\sqrt3}{2}}{2}\]

OpenStudy (misty1212):

to get rid of the compound fraction, multiply top and bottom by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 + 0.86/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@misty1212

OpenStudy (misty1212):

your answers do not use decimal approximations leave the radical there

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[\sqrt{\frac{2+\sqrt3}{4}}\] or \[\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{2+\sqrt3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks so much!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@misty1212 thanks
