sin((-pi)/2)

sin (\frac{- π}{2})

- 1

Solution steps

sin (\frac{- π}{2})

Simplify

= sin (- \frac{π}{2})

Use the following property:

sin (- x) = - sin (x)

sin (- \frac{π}{2}) = - sin (\frac{π}{2})

= - sin (\frac{π}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{π}{2}) = 1

sin (\frac{π}{2})

sin (x)
