What is the value of sin(-690)?
Answer Details
The sine function is a periodic function, which means that its values repeat after a certain interval. Specifically, the sine function has a period of 360 degrees (or 2π radians), which means that sin(x) = sin(x ± 360) for any angle x. In this case, we want to find the value of sin(-690). To do so, we can add or subtract multiples of 360 degrees to get an angle in the range between -360 and 360 degrees. Adding 2*360 degrees to -690 gives us an equivalent angle of 30 degrees, since -690 + 2*360 = -690 + 720 = 30. Now we can use the unit circle or a calculator to find the sine of 30 degrees. The exact value of sin(30) is 1/2, which means that sin(-690) is also equal to 1/2. Therefore, the answer is: - 1/2 Note that none of the given options match this answer exactly, so it's possible that there is a mistake in the question or answer choices.
