Capitolo 3, Problema 37

Find the exact value of each expression. See Example 3. sin 1305°

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Recognize that the sine function has a period of 360°, so to find \( \sin 1305^\circ \), first reduce the angle by subtracting multiples of 360° until the angle lies between 0° and 360°. This can be done by calculating \( 1305^\circ - 3 \times 360^\circ \).
Calculate the reduced angle: \( 1305^\circ - 1080^\circ = 225^\circ \). So, \( \sin 1305^\circ = \sin 225^\circ \).
Recall that 225° is in the third quadrant, where sine values are negative. The reference angle for 225° is \( 225^\circ - 180^\circ = 45^\circ \).
Use the reference angle to express \( \sin 225^\circ \) in terms of \( \sin 45^\circ \), keeping in mind the sign in the third quadrant: \( \sin 225^\circ = -\sin 45^\circ \).
Recall the exact value of \( \sin 45^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \), so \( \sin 1305^\circ = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Angle Reduction Using Coterminal Angles

Angles larger than 360° can be simplified by subtracting multiples of 360° to find a coterminal angle between 0° and 360°. This helps in evaluating trigonometric functions by reducing the angle to a standard position.

Reference Angles and Quadrant Identification

Once the angle is reduced, identifying its quadrant is essential because the sign and value of sine depend on the quadrant. The reference angle is the acute angle formed with the x-axis, used to find the sine value.
