sin(-(5pi)/2)

sin (- \frac{5 π}{2})

- 1

Solution steps

sin (- \frac{5 π}{2})

Use the following property:

sin (- x) = - sin (x)

sin (- \frac{5 π}{2}) = - sin (\frac{5 π}{2})

= - sin (\frac{5 π}{2})

sin (\frac{5 π}{2}) = sin (\frac{π}{2})

sin (\frac{5 π}{2})

Rewrite

\frac{5 π}{2}

2 π + \frac{π}{2}

= sin (2 π + \frac{π}{2})

Apply the periodicity of

sin

sin (x + 2 π) = sin (x)

sin (2 π + \frac{π}{2}) = 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)
