Find the exact value under the given conditions sin alpha 3
Find the exact value under the given conditions. sin alpha = 3/5, pi/2
Solution
we have given sin=3/5,pi/2<<pi, and cos=15/17,0<<pi/2
cos=sqrt(1-sin2) =sqrt(1-9/25)=sqrt(16/25)=4/5
sin=sqrt(1-cos2)=sqrt(1-225/289)=sqrt(64/289)=8/17
sin(-)=sincos-cossin
sin(-)=3/5*15/17-4/5*8/17
=45/85-32/85=13/85
sin(-)=13/85
answer is 3) 13/85
