sin^2((5pi)/3)

Solution

sin^{2} (\frac{5 π}{3})

Solution

\frac{3}{4}

Decimal Notation

0.75

Solution steps

sin^{2} (\frac{5 π}{3})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (\frac{5 π}{3}) = - \frac{3}{2}

sin (\frac{5 π}{3})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (π) cos (\frac{2 π}{3}) + cos (π) sin (\frac{2 π}{3})

sin (\frac{5 π}{3})

Write

sin (\frac{5 π}{3})

sin (π + \frac{2 π}{3})

= sin (π + \frac{2 π}{3})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

sin (s + t) = sin (s) cos (t) + cos (s) sin (t)

= sin (π) cos (\frac{2 π}{3}) + cos (π) sin (\frac{2 π}{3})

= sin (π) cos (\frac{2 π}{3}) + cos (π) sin (\frac{2 π}{3})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (π) = 0

= \frac{3}{2}

= 0 \cdot (- \frac{1}{2}) + (- 1) \frac{3}{2}

Simplify

= - \frac{3}{2}

= (- \frac{3}{2})^{2}

Simplify

(- \frac{3}{2})^{2} : \frac{3}{4}

(- \frac{3}{2})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

n

is even

(- \frac{3}{2})^{2} = (\frac{3}{2})^{2}

= (\frac{3}{2})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{( 3 ) ^{2}}{2 ^{2}}

(3)^{2} : 3

Apply radical rule:

a = a^{\frac{1}{2}}

= (3^{\frac{1}{2}})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}

= 3^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 = 1

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= 1

= 3

= \frac{3}{2 ^{2}}

2^{2} = 4

= \frac{3}{4}

= \frac{3}{4}
