문제 69

2장, 문제 69

Find the indicated function value. If it is undefined, say so. See Example 4. sin(―270°)

검증된 단계별 안내

Recall the definition of the sine function for negative angles: \(\sin(-\theta) = -\sin(\theta)\).

Rewrite the given expression using this identity: \(\sin(-270^\circ) = -\sin(270^\circ)\).

Determine the value of \(\sin(270^\circ)\) by considering the unit circle. The angle \(270^\circ\) corresponds to the point \((0, -1)\) on the unit circle, so \(\sin(270^\circ) = -1\).

Substitute this value back into the expression: \(\sin(-270^\circ) = -(-1)\).

Simplify the expression to find the value of \(\sin(-270^\circ)\).

Understanding the Unit Circle and Angle Measurement

The unit circle is a circle with radius 1 centered at the origin of the coordinate plane. Angles are measured from the positive x-axis, with positive angles rotating counterclockwise and negative angles clockwise. Knowing how to locate angles like -270° on the unit circle helps determine the sine value.

Sine Function Definition on the Unit Circle

The sine of an angle corresponds to the y-coordinate of the point where the terminal side of the angle intersects the unit circle. This means sin(θ) equals the vertical position on the circle, which can be positive, negative, or zero depending on the angle's quadrant.

Angle Coterminality and Reference Angles

Angles differing by full rotations (multiples of 360°) share the same terminal side and thus the same sine value. To find sin(-270°), convert it to a coterminal positive angle by adding 360°, simplifying the evaluation using known sine values of standard angles.

Solve each problem. Solar Eclipse on Earth The sun has a diameter of about 865,000 mi with a maximum distance from Earth's surface of about 94,500,000 mi. The moon has a smaller diameter of 2159 mi. For a total solar eclipse to occur, the moon must pass between Earth and the sun. The moon must also be close enough to Earth for the moon's umbra (shadow) to reach the surface of Earth. (Data from Karttunen, H., P. Kröger, H. Oja, M. Putannen, and K. Donners, Editors, Fundamental Astronomy, Fourth Edition, Springer-Verlag.) a. Calculate the maximum distance, to the nearest thousand miles, that the moon can be from Earth and still have a total solar eclipse occur. (Hint: Use similar triangles.)
