the sequence of numbers, their units are in degees correct?
to convert the list of numbers in degrees to radians, we multiply each term in the sequence by pi/180
then, you plot the unit circle x^2+y^2=1
then using the relation y=sin(theta) and x=cos(theta), u can visualize the chart of multiples/submultiples of a given angle and their corresponding value
so, for 3.25, i will find 3.25pi/180, and set the sin of that value to y
you can repeat this process to derive the values of the sin/cos of the angles that you have requested! hope this helped.
forgot to add that when you find a coordinate with both (x,y) as described above, you get 1 unique point. and see that this is exactly 3.25 degrees from the origin!
you may repeat this process a bit simpler without explicitly defining x and y, simply plot x^2+y^2 = 1, and then use (cos(degrees*pi/180),sin(degrees times pi/180)) and u will see the multiplicity in the values you have requested! cheers
Yeah but i wanted the values in roots form
Like for example sin 15° would be root3 -1 / 2root2
That's not even a geometric seqence?
I don't get the point of this
You can literally just use trig identities, there are too many of these "nice" values to squish into a table/memorize for use
It's just easier to derive it
Yeah ik thats just the types of values that usually come in my tests
Well it would a lot of time to find their values during an exam
I guess I could derive them rn and then learn their values
