Question

Evaluate sin(arccos(-4/


​

Answer 1

sin(arccos(-4/√25)) = 0.6

Explanation:

The expression you want to evaluate is

sin(arccos(-4/√25))

= sin(arccos(-4/5))

We place this expression into a calculator and get the result

arccos(-4/5) = 2.498 rads = 143.1°

then

sin(143.1°) = 3/5

sin(143.1°) = 0.6

sin(arccos(-4/√25)) = 0.6
