sin((7pi)/6)-sin(pi/3)

Solution

sin (\frac{7 π}{6}) - sin (\frac{π}{3})

Solution

\frac{- 1 - 3}{2}

Decimal Notation

- 1.36602 \dots

Solution steps

sin (\frac{7 π}{6}) - sin (\frac{π}{3})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (\frac{7 π}{6}) = - \frac{1}{2}

sin (\frac{7 π}{6})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (π) cos (\frac{π}{6}) + cos (π) sin (\frac{π}{6})

sin (\frac{7 π}{6})

Write

sin (\frac{7 π}{6})

sin (π + \frac{π}{6})

= sin (π + \frac{π}{6})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= sin (π) cos (\frac{π}{6}) + cos (π) sin (\frac{π}{6})

= sin (π) cos (\frac{π}{6}) + cos (π) sin (\frac{π}{6})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (π) = 0
