sin(-(17pi)/6)

sin (- \frac{17 π}{6})

- \frac{1}{2}

Decimal Notation

- 0.5

Solution steps

sin (- \frac{17 π}{6})

Use the following property:

sin (- x) = - sin (x)

sin (- \frac{17 π}{6}) = - sin (\frac{17 π}{6})

= - sin (\frac{17 π}{6})

sin (\frac{17 π}{6}) = sin (\frac{5 π}{6})

sin (\frac{17 π}{6})

Rewrite

\frac{17 π}{6}

2 π + \frac{5 π}{6}

= sin (2 π + \frac{5 π}{6})

Apply the periodicity of

sin

sin (x + 2 π) = sin (x)

sin (2 π + \frac{5 π}{6}) = sin (\frac{5 π}{6})

= sin (\frac{5 π}{6})

= - sin (\frac{5 π}{6})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{5 π}{6}) = \frac{1}{2}

sin (\frac{5 π}{6})

sin (x)
