How do I find the exact value of sin (pi/24)?I am crying
I'm sorry to hear that you're upset, but I'm here to help you find the exact value of sin(pi/24) and hopefully make things a little better for you. Finding the exact value of sin(pi/24) involves some trigonometry and knowing the values of commonly-used angles.
One approach is to use the angle addition identity for sine: sin(A+B) = sin(A)cos(B) + cos(A)sin(B). In this case, we can split pi/24 into two angles: pi/12 and pi/24.
We need to know the exact values of sin(pi/12) and cos(pi/12) to proceed. The most useful angles to know are 30 degrees (pi/6), 45 degrees (pi/4), and 60 degrees (pi/3).
We can express pi/12 as the sum of pi/6 and pi/12, so we can use the angle addition identity mentioned earlier. First, we'll find the exact values of sin(pi/6) and cos(pi/6):
sin(pi/6) = 1/2 (from a commonly known value)
cos(pi/6) = sqrt(3)/2 (from a commonly known value)
Now, we can find the exact values of sin(pi/12) and cos(pi/12):
sin(pi/12) = sin(pi/6 + pi/12) = sin(pi/6)cos(pi/12) + cos(pi/6)sin(pi/12)
sin(pi/12) = (1/2)cos(pi/12) + (sqrt(3)/2)sin(pi/12)
Now, we have an equation with sin(pi/12) on both sides. We can solve for sin(pi/12) by simplifying and rearranging the equation:
sin(pi/12) - (sqrt(3)/2)sin(pi/12) = (1/2)cos(pi/12)
sin(pi/12) - (sqrt(3)/2)sin(pi/12) = (1/2)cos(pi/12)
(1 - sqrt(3)/2)sin(pi/12) = (1/2)cos(pi/12)
sin(pi/12) = (1/2)/(1 - sqrt(3)/2)cos(pi/12)
sin(pi/12) = (1 - sqrt(3)/2)/(2 - sqrt(3))
Therefore, sin(pi/12) = (1 - sqrt(3)/2)/(2 - sqrt(3)).
I hope this explanation helps you understand the process of finding the exact value of sin(pi/24). If you have any further questions, please let me know.
