Use the figure to find the exact value of the following trigonometric function. 2 sin theta/2 cos theta/2 2sin theta/2 cos theta/2= (Simplify your answer, including any radicals. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expression.)
Solution
sin2@ = 2*sin@*cos@
so sin@ = 2*sin(@/2)*cos(@/2)
so 2*sin(@/2)*cos(@/2) = sin@
= perpendicular / hypotenuse
= 3 / 5
[ from fig H = ( 32 + 42 )1/2 = 5 ]
