a) 0.9339
b) 0.8660
c) 0.7071
d) 0.5000

Answer 1

The question to evaluate sin(11/12) using partial sums lacks the necessary information on the method or number of terms which makes it not feasible to provide an accurate answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires the evaluation of the sine function for the angle 11/12 radians. Typically, the sine function can be approximated using its Taylor series expansion, however, there is no clear indication of the number of terms (partial sums) required for the approximation in the question. Additionally, 11/12 radians is apriximately 165 degrees, and evaluating sin(165 degrees) directly would involve using either the sine sum formula or converting to a known angle, which usually are not considered 'partial sums'.

Without further information or context on what method or how many terms to use, it is not feasible to provide an accurate response to this question. The references to 'partial sums' usually relate to a series or sequence context, but here it's unclear how that relates to evaluating sin(11/12).
