hey!!
you have a lot of questions there the first batch are all calculator exercises want to do one?
yes please
no one uses degrees and minutes, this stuff is from the 60's here check the link http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=sin%2840+degrees+20+minutes%29
how would i insert it into a calculator?
you on a computer right?
yes but i have a calculator in front of me and i need to know how to do it on one for a test
ok well since you are using archaic minutes, you would have to convert to a decimal first
20 minutes is \(\frac{20}{60}=\frac{2}{3}\) which makes a crapo decimal, \[.22222\] etc
so you would put your calculator in degree mode and maybe type in \[\sin(40+20\div 60)\]
actually \(\frac{2}{3}=0.6666...\) but still a lousy decimal
when i put sin(...) in the cal i get .5569462797
oops i put 80 not 60 so i get .4858812599
