Math Problem Statement

evaluate sinx + sin(2pi-x)

Solution

We are asked to evaluate the expression:

sin(x)+sin(2πx)\sin(x) + \sin(2\pi - x)

Step-by-Step Evaluation:

  1. Use the identity for sin(2πx)\sin(2\pi - x): The sine function has the following property: sin(2πx)=sin(x)\sin(2\pi - x) = -\sin(x) This is because sine is periodic and symmetric around π\pi, and sin(2πx)\sin(2\pi - x) is in the fourth quadrant where sine is negative.

  2. Substitute the identity into the expression: sin(x)+sin(2πx)=sin(x)+(sin(x))=0\sin(x) + \sin(2\pi - x) = \sin(x) + (-\sin(x)) = 0

Final Answer:

sin(x)+sin(2πx)=0\sin(x) + \sin(2\pi - x) = 0

  1. What is the general formula for sin(a±b)\sin(a \pm b)?
  2. How does the sine function behave under different angle transformations?
  3. What are the sine and cosine identities for angles greater than 2π2\pi?
  4. How does the unit circle help in understanding sine and cosine functions?
  5. What is the periodicity of the sine and cosine functions?

Tip: Always remember that the sine and cosine functions are periodic, which means they repeat their values in regular intervals of 2π2\pi.
